**and a red line train. The 2 lines run on entirely different platforms. It was 2 red line trains going in opposite direction that ht each other head-on. All I know is that the main operator that screwed up got sliced in half.

Yeah, one of my friends was on the first train of the bottom car. Non-standard f-up where one train operator didn't pay attention to the other car on the track.
But yeah, it annoys me how they keep say that it was a collision between a green line train a

This is heart-wrenching! :(

Omg I take this train to grosvenor strathmore all the time.... Jesus may console the families or the deceased

oh my god

One fatality: the Metrorail driver of the 2nd train, the one who ran into the back of the 1st train: Live briefing NOW on My Fox DC channel

UPDATE per My Fox DC: 4 fatalities, 2 critically injured

Obviously the other metro platforms are packed. see -> http://twitpic.com/84rux

Correction to some info I posted earlier, there seemed to be a possible derailment of one of the trains (Southbound or northbound, unsure).

Heard from ABC7 News DC.

Reaaaallly bad folks.

If you're a resident taking metro today, take a cab or bus if at all possible, or simply walk a few blocks or miles.

Horrible.

Not the usual Metro operator %%$# up. This is bad. And frightening. Makes one really lose confidence in in our rail system.

I truly hope that the people who are injured recover fully. And then sue the pants off Metro.

From Fox News-DC, 2 deaths, many seriously injured; Red line train derailed & hit Green line train

so very very sorry for you all. Hope the injured will recover.

Prayers, meditation and condolences go out to those who lost their lives

Here's another angle from NBC4 http://twitpic.com/84x6w

And yet another angle from WTTG FOx 5. http://twitpic.com/84yiv The accident was apparently from a track swicth earlier in the day, leaving a single track operational for the red line. Sounds like misocmmunication from what I gather...

Ouch. I hope no one was hurt.

Any reports on what caused the crash?
