i definitely don't mean to equate the two events as tragedies. obviously the loss of a life is much more significant, and i apologize if i implied otherwise.

i'm going to sound like a crusty old nit-picker, but oh well.. i'm not sure i'd classify a small electrical fire that was put out rather quickly as a signifigant tragedy on the same scale as an operator loosing her life. just sayin'. that said, i agree with the rest of the article. the t really needs to shape up in a huge way. an hour plus delay is really ridiculous. in terms of speed on the red line.. not sure if it's in between north quincy and jfk, or jfk and andrew but theres a stretch of track there where the trains rip through so fast that the trains literally bounce off the track.. scares the hell out of me, but I'm not an infastructure engineer so I usually just assume it's safe.. who knows with the T these days.
