Washington DC Metro spokesman Dan Stessel, commenting on security precautions on the DC transit system:
“We are operating the second-largest subway system in the capital of the United States. It should not surprise anyone that we are viewed as a potential target,”
No, Mr Stessel, Metro operates the largest subway system in the capital of the United States. The US Capitol subway system is much smaller; it has only two lines and seven stations :-)
Second largest in the US? No, not really. The New York and Chicago subway systems are both larger, by number of stations and by miles of track.
Really, you'd think that cooler heads could prevail, even in times of crisis...
