Watchful METRO Conductors!

We usually hear and read headlines about tragic Metro stories.  It's rare to get a story focusing on the men and women who do their job and keep an eye out for others.  Two separate suicide attempts on Metro were prevented over the weekend by watchful train conductors, reported the Examiner.

On Friday a woman put herself on the tracks in the Bethesda station during the evening rush, refusing to move even after a train had stopped. She was eventually removed than involuntarily committed. In a closer call on Saturday, a man at the Judiciary Square station threw himself on the tracks as a train was entering the station, but the conductor was able to stop quickly enough to only make minor contact with him. He was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

So far two people have killed themselves on Metro this year, most recently at Gallery Place. Last year, five
people successfully committed suicide on Metro. Late last year Metro started posting posters advertising a suicide prevention hotline.
