BART train splits in two in Transbay Tube Henry K. Lee, Chronicle Staff Writer Tuesday, March 16, 2010 (03-16) 09:58 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A BART train split in two this morning as it was traveling west through the Transbay Tube, causing long delays through the morning commute. The nine-car train, bound for San Francisco International Airport from Pittsburg-Bay Point, was just east of San Francisco's Embarcadero Station when two cars came uncoupled at 6:23 a.m., said BART spokesman Linton Johnson. A fail-safe mechanism automatically stopped both sections of the train immediately. The five-car section was moved out of the way at 6:55 a.m. by the operator, but because the rear four-car section no longer had an operator, another employee had to be brought in, Johnson said. The shorter section of the train was finally moved west out of the tube at 7:10 a.m. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/16/BAFI1CGHO4.DTL&tsp=1#
I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/
