**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

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.

Here's another pic. http://twitpic.com/851lc 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.

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.
