It's great to see some accountability at WMATA, but it would be better if that concept were applied to those in managerial ranks as well.

i think you should have let Mr.Catoe go because of the accident that happen on June the 22 2009 and the four more accident that happen after that i think he knew that those old trains should not had been on those tracks that day but i just going by what NTSB is saying. and my grandmother was 99years old when she die she always said if you do something wrong onetime you will do it again. so i think to stop all of these accident from happen you should get Mr.John Catoe out of there. thank you
