Radios Hampered Response to Metro Fire (1002 words)
Goodine said Metro officials are still investigating the cause of the fire but are fairly confident they have traced it to an installation fluke--the unusual way the power cable was laid in the Foggy Bottom tunnel in 1979.
Metro crews are making changes to the stretch of rail with the unusual installation to prevent any further damage or a new fire, Goodine said.
Metro officials said the communications problems prevented the transit agency and the fire department from discussing what Metro believed was the best solution for the trapped passengers: Their six-car train could have been backed into the Farragut West station, where the passengers could have stepped out to the safety of the platform, Goodine said.
BIGpedia - Washington, D.C. - Encyclopedia and Dictionary Online (6380 words)
Washington, D.C., officially the District of Columbia (also known as D.C. Washington; the Nation's Capital; the District; and, historically, the Federal City) is the capital city and administrative district of the United States of America.
Washington may have chosen the site for its natural scenery, in the belief that the Potomac had the potential to be a great navigable waterway, or even in the hope of increasing the value of his land holdings in the area.
Washington is surrounded by the states of Virginia (on its southwest side, and a small part of its northwest one) and Maryland (on its southeast and northeast sides, and most of its northwest one); it interrupts those states' common border, which is the Potomac River both upstream and downstream from the District.
