U.S.: D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty: Blame us for the Metro crash
- We do have an independent train system… [but] let’s not try and disperse the blame. Let’s put it on the decision makers and the leaders.
- Adrian Fenty • Speaking this morning on “Good Morning America,” taking blame for Monday’s D.C. Metro crash, which killed nine people. The cause of the crash appears to be faulty, outdated equipment which wasn’t replaced when recommended, as the train driver (who was also killed) did press the emergency brake and there were were automatic mechanisms in place that should have prevented the crash. The fact that Fenty is so willing to put his neck out is bold. • source
