Anonymous Coward User ID: 18859966 United States 03/15/2016 07:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The subway system here will shut down all day on Wednesday to allow for wide-scale safety inspections prompted by a fire earlier this week, officials said Tuesday. It will be the first time that the system, the nation’s second busiest, has closed for any reason other than bad weather in its four decades. Officials ordered inspections of about 600 third-rail electrical cables in the system, known as Metro, after an electrical fire in a downtown tunnel on Monday led to long delays on three lines. The episode was similar to one in January 2015 that filled a train with smoke in a tunnel, killing one passenger and sickening several others. |

Remember that last year? Money. Not Terror. Nothing ever happens anymore. Which is fine, throw a little fear in the mix, and you have the continued, collective police state of DC, Maryland and Virginia. Enough said. |
