Another worker fatality on WMATA
New WMATA general manager John Catoe will have his hands full when he reports to work: he'll be taking the helm of an agency with serious safety problems. On Thursday the agency had its third worker fatality in a little over a year. As with the other two fatalities, the worker was on the tracks and was struck by a train. These three fatalities equal the number of similar fatal accidents during the agency's first 29 years. Couple this with other safety issues, including 2004's horrific crash, and you have a situation that the National Transportation Safety Board chairman called "unacceptable."

Wow. How terrible. I can't believe so many accidents have happened lately with the metro. So sad.
