Upon arrival at Union Station this morning the line ups to get downstairs from track 3 were alot busier that usual as one of the stairwells was blocked off by yellow caution tape and a guard was also posted at the top. Now this is unusual although not unprecedented as there have been frequent repairs to the escalator for this particular stairwell in the past year.
As it turns out this was a very unusual day at Union Station. I did happen to have my camera this morning but I would have felt like an idiot taking pictures while EMS staff were taking care of the injured. I wouldn't be surprised if this was due to an escalator malfunction because this particular one always sounded like it was grinding metal especially when there were a ton of people on it. I can only imagine when the first lawsuit is filed. My guess is by early next week. Care to join the pool? Leave a comment with your guess.
