(1) 8 months & not one elected or appointed official or investigation has focused any attention on why it took 22-mins to get @dcfireems to the scene of 2 @wmata trains colliding on October 7. Today's @MetrorailSafety report confirms the timetable but has no explanation. (more) Image
(2) WATCH: When @Fox5Wagner asked @MayorBowser about the delay 5 days after the Farragut West collision occurred, this was her answer. @MurielBowser still hasn't answered that question or addressed any of the problems at @OUC_DC that contributed to the delay. (more)
(3) @charlesallen @CMCharlesAllen is in charge of oversight for @OUC_DC. In the 8 months since the collision he has not publicly asked OUC's director or anyone else about the lost 22-minutes. An outrageous response time to an emergency & he just doesn't care. (more) Image
(4) 8 months -- almost to the day -- after the Farragut West collision there was another rail emergency. This time at Capitol Heights. Once again @wmata delayed notifying fire & EMS & no one is outraged. statter911.com/2020/06/17/new…
(5) 5-years-ago the same chaos & confusion between @wmata & @OUC_DC occurred, also leading to a 20-plus minute delay. It killed Carol Glover & injured scores of others. There was outrage then but no elected or appointed official focused on the real problem -- the delay. (more) Image
(6) @councilofdc @wmata's board, reporters & Congress focused on radio problems but missed the fact that it was time that killed Carol Glover. Time sitting & choking in a smoke-filled Metro car while ROCC & @OUC_DC wasted Glover's final minutes with their usual dysfunction.(more) Image
(7) Since no one else will say it, I will. A 22-minute response time in the Nation's Capital is outrageous. It's the same assessment I made immediately after L'Enfant Plaza & Farragut West. Not addressed at ROCC & OUC, it will lead to more deaths. (more) statter911.com/2019/10/10/com…
(8) Not one leader is willing to say this must change. Recent evidence points to it being business as usual at @OUC_DC & @wmata's ROCC. That means when your life is on the line & seconds count, you can count on OUC & ROCC taking minutes. Many minutes. Good luck.
