Metro is trying to kill us.

It's official. The DC Metro system has become self-aware and is trying to kill us all.

From the article:
He says all signs are showing that the operator did everything she could to prevent the crash. Investigators have found the emergency braking system had been in use 300 to 400 feet before the crash.

...

NTSB Spokesman Debbie Hersman says five of six circuits, or stretches of track, showed no problems during tests Wednesday. But she says there were "anomalies" with the sixth circuit. Hersman would not elaborate on what those might be, saying more tests are needed.

The electronic sensors in question may have sent signals to the striking train to go at speed -- 59 mph.

The Washington Post reports an internal Metro report shows the system was not working properly. The computer system, the paper reports, was telling the striking train that there was no train ahead of it. The computers might have sent the train to crash into the one ahead of it.


I'm on to you, Metro.
