June ’09 Metro Crash Potentially Caused By Mixing Equipment Brands | DC Metro Area Personal Injury Law Blog

5 stars

Posted by: Salvatore J. Zambri, founding partner

The Washington Post reports that Metro’s “decision to mix different brands of signaling equipment — despite a warning from one of the manufacturers — could have caused the June crash that killed nine people, a senior engineer with the company,” Alstom, “said Wednesday at a federal safety hearing.” Information released by the NTSB “has pointed to possibly faulty and aging equipment in the failure of the automated crash-avoidance system. But the information on the signaling system attempts to shift blame to Metro’s maintenance, testing and installation procedures.”

As you may know from reading my prior blogs, my firm represents victims of this tragic and avoidable crash.
