Metro Train Operator Leaves Train, Passengers in Lurch

Maybe it is just  the greater attention the Fort Totten Metro crash has brought but it seems there is some new incident at Metro every week. This week it was reported that a Metro train operator walked off the job due to illness, leaving a Metro train full of passengers at the New York Avenue Station.

The incident took place on Monday October 5th, 2009 around 11:25 p.m. The operator left the train and did not return and a second  Red Line train picked up the passengers.

The inevitable question, was this a potential safety danger for the passengers? Tune in tomorrow for more.
