DC Metro Train Derailment

I heard about that this afternoon. The Red Line is one of the lines I have to take to get to work but fortunately I didn't go in today. From what the article says, it seemed to have been some kind of fail-safe tactic, although I've never heard of a train ever automatically derailing. No one still has offered any explanation as to why the train veered off onto the side track. Thank goodness no one was seriously injured.

This has certainly been a rough couple of months for Metro, what with the June crash and the workers who were struck and killed last month.
