Metro: the Escalator Experts

From Pat:

At about 5 p.m. Monday, the descending escalator at Minnesota Ave. did not have a graceful failure.

I couldn't tell if it had a failure of a roller bearing or wheel in the guide tracks of if it somehow snagged on a comb plate but, it sure looked bad.

Fortunately no people appeared to have been hurt.
