NTSB Urges “Safety Redundancy” After Washington Train Accident

In its ongoing investigation of the fatal Washington Metro crash in June, the National Transportation Safety Board has become concerned that the DC train accident could have been prevented if the Washington Metro concentrated more on adequate safety redundancy.

According to the Washington Post and the NTSB, a single malfunction caused the train accident that killed nine commuters and injured dozens more. The fact that a single failure in the largely automatic train system is extremely troubling to many - as a lack of safety redundancy puts only one broken part between a safe commute and another tragic metro accident. The NTSB will probably officially announce that a new software system that regularly checks on hardware functionality should be required. The new system would "continuously evaluate the validity of real-time track occupancy data."

The NTSB does not expect to officially finish its investigation of the DC commuter train wreck for several more months.

Metro Accident Kills 6 and Injures Many More!

At least 6 people have died in the worst Metrorail collision in the system's history.  Preliminary news reports indicate that one train on Metro's Red Line struck the rear of another train stopped on the track.  At this point, the investigation is just beginning.

For those injured and for the families of those killed, I feel very sorry and express my deepest sympathies.  If you need help with a claim against Metro, you should contact competent, experienced legal counsel immediately.  Metro is notoriously difficult to deal with on injury claims.  Metro is self-insured, they have no insurance.
