mappy Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That sucks. Normal vaccine or the nasal spray this year? We were told by our ped that the nasal spray was better, so we tried it out. So far, no flu. Hope it doesn't last too long for the kiddo. Her and I both got the normal vaccine. Hoping it passes quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Christ Alive...WMATA is a debacle. Stuck at Gallery Place...they made no announcement that the train on the opposite platform was reversing and going the way I wanted to go. I'm like wtf? Then we're all sitting there on the other side looking at each other in disbelief. I said **** it and took an uber (surge pricing...screw you uber) home.

Probably would have skipped metro. Man, they are going to have to justify the budget if this is some lack of diligence on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I wish radar scope would give more than one radar location at a timeThat's the only thing I don't like about it. You can't get the full picture of what's going on. Does anyone know how to get a national shot on radarscope? Probably not possible.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I would have done the same. Probably would have skipped metro. Man, they are going to have to justify the budget if this is some lack of diligence on their part. They are pretty close to criminally negligent. We were just talking about this like 3 days ago in this thread. I'd like to think that this will begin to bring some accountability back but I'm not sure.. 9 people did die a few years ago and it's still way safer than most means of transport. But it's very easy to imagine a number of additional incidents similar or worse, and clearly they weren't prepared at all which makes you extra nervous in a city that is expecting to be attacked by terrorists again some day.. on a one of the most likely platforms for such.

Was thinking the same thing wrt the part about not being prepared for an attack. The metro is a huge target and it appears wmata is asleep at the wheel. I don't know how people remained so calm in that video you shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember we did discuss it here. Let's face it - most metro are open to attack. I was in Paris in 94 and it was like forget trash cans. Bomb havens. And I have been in dicey situations internationally but none freaks me out so much as being on DC Metro in this kind of situation. They do not have a grip at all.

ThePhotoGuy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It is amazing that with billions of dollars spent by federal, state, and local agencies for anti-terrorism and preparedness procedures, there is no plan in place to evacuate a metro train in a tunnel. I am usually a person who can't stand lawsuits but I believe the family of the person that died and other injured victims should definitely sue.

gymengineer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ok, the Metro story is more and more ridiculous....84 in hospitals, shocking train videos, black residue on any shield people used to breathe through, and panic underground as the communication stopped for the train. I bet the first thought for many passengers, before any messages from the conductor, was "terrorist attack!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sometimes I'll buy into a particular model "leading the way" in a certain pattern or for a certain period of time, but has the NAM ever scored two coups in a row? NAM's always been the "one and done" type of model when it comes to leading the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
