Metro Re-opens by Joemama http://poundofthoughts.com/2008/06/10/dc-metro-re-opens/#comment-330 Joemama Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:09:11 +0000 http://poundofthoughts.com/?p=542#comment-330 Yep, heat is going to cause more derailments if the engineers continue to drive the trains at excessive speed. They will kill someone if they already haven't taken a little life already. I'm surprised the papers kept reporting no injuries, insisting NO ONE WAS HURT! ALL IS WELL! ALL IS WELLLLLL!! When a expecting mother, YES a pregnant woman was hospitalized after the Metro Train Derailment, who was suffering from abdominal pains! Hopefully, she didn't have a miscarriage and loose the baby. I'm sure the Metro System will be paying out a few million to that woman if she loses the baby. Personally, with the gas crunch the trains have been loaded with too many people and exceeding their max weight allowed for safe transport. If the Fire Department has laws for excessive people in a building for Fire Code, why hasn't anyone been enforcing Max Occupancy for the Metro Trains? The Trains have been loading far too many people on them, I would speculate that overloading/weight and speed were the two main factors for this derailment. Someone should arrest the Metro Engineer for exceeding max safe weight and speed during this accident. Or at least give him a ticket!

I have a facebook account - but don't really know why! Basically, I just get endless pics of my friend's friends! It is not that I have anything against them - I just don't know most of them. So - after having tried to use it - I still just don't get it. I really don't want to have check endless messages and emails from dozens of different sources. So, I may join you soon in deleting it!

I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you... I ended up being diagnosed with PACs (a heart arrhythmia) when I was 30. It really is pretty sobering to start having those kinds of issues so young, isn't it? You're gonna be fine. I just know it! Oh wow! I just wanted to let you know that I’m praying for you…
