I saw that on the ticker on wmata.com - er at least saw where they closed Dupont Circle.

It's a sad story :(

I know, I wonder if any safety precautins were taken, that's a sad story of another employee losing his life like that.

Also, further up between Bethesda and Medical Center during construction in the late 70s another track worker (23-year old) was killed the same way, except it was a work train, this is what I read from "The Story Of Metro".
