(1) Prediction: Many political leaders & some of the public will largely forget Fort Totten 2009, L'enfant Plaza 2015, the series of @wmata worker deaths along with how enormously close we came to disaster with Arlington Cemetery 2021. (more)

(2) They will at least partially buy into Paul Smedberg's claim @wmataGM can't do this job if he has to put safety first. That's because Clarke is seen as the new @wmata savior & there's no higher priority than getting trains back to running more frequently. (more)
(3) They will forget the lives lost & all the reasons @MetrorailSafety exists. They will forget that @wmata almost never does the right thing when it comes to safety or even learn from its mistakes. They will ignore #wmata's consistent lack of candor. (more)
(4) The fact is that for the first time in its more than a half century of existence someone is insisting @wmata operate safely. It feels "untenable" to @wmatagm & Paul Smedberg because Metro was never set up to treat "safety first" as anything more than a slogan.
