	Radios Hampered Response to Metro Fire
		Goodine said Metro officials are still investigating the cause of the fire but are fairly confident they have traced it to an installation fluke--the unusual way the power cable was laid in the Foggy Bottom tunnel in 1979.
		Metro crews are making changes to the stretch of rail with the unusual installation to prevent any further damage or a new fire, Goodine said.
		Metro officials said the communications problems prevented the transit agency and the fire department from discussing what Metro believed was the best solution for the trapped passengers: Their six-car train could have been backed into the Farragut West station, where the passengers could have stepped out to the safety of the platform, Goodine said.

		In a fake subway tunnel built inside a Landover warehouse, Metro officials yesterday "turned on" a simulated fire to show off the nation's first training tunnel where emergency workers can practice how to respond to rail disasters.
		Metro began designing the center before Sept. 11 as a place where local fire, police and special operations teams could perform disaster drills under realistic conditions.
		Metro hopes to invest an additional $2 million in the facility, which would allow the agency to bring water to the tunnel and create a mock station just outside the tunnel, among other things.

		If METRO wants to promote ridership, and if the city wants to promote a safer city that provides alternate transportation to reduce the number of alcohol-drug related accidents then the METRO should be open at least until 3:00 am to allow everyone the opportunity for a "safe" ride home.
		Metro should be open twenty-four hours,but if there had to be a time it was shut down it should be at 2am at the least and 3am is an ideal time.
		The public should stop worrying about the safety of the metro cars and refocus their concerns on the extreme amount of traffic and danger that exists on our highways that are costing way more than what it would take to keep the metro open until 3 or 4 am.
