Plane drivers. I never hear how awful the people or transit is on a train.

So when something like that happens, who gets to be the first one to take it up again?

that's also what they are spraying with the firehouse.

I guess if its on fire from a malfunction it would be justification to emergency evac? Makes sense I suppose.

It's was pretty bad in the late 80's. I can't imagine it's improved.
