Bomb on the train? Roll on, baby...
Yesterday aboard a Blue Line train somewhere near the Federal Triangle station, riders saw an unattended bag. Washington Post story. They frantically ran from the car when its doors opened at Federal Triangle, and someone reported the bag to the train operator.
You'd think the operator would offload the train, just as I have been offloaded several times when equipment malfunctions. Naa...the operator closed the doors and proceeded to Metro Center, an extremely busy downtown station.
Hey, why stop the train there? It then proceeded to McPherson Square, where it was removed from service.
Maybe the operator didn't know about the bag? Naa..."the operator announced that there was an unattended bag and that security officials would "hopefully" board the train farther down the line."
Good to see Metro's good at intercepting unattended bags...and the bag's contents? Two baseball hats. A tourist kid lost it.
