Steam & Excursion > The Up #844 Accident -Freeze Frame -Shows What Actually Happened!

There's a link to the video, which is hard to watch.

I ride the DC Metro system every workday. I see people staring at their phones as they walk along Metrorail platforms, not paying any attention to their surroundings. While waiting at bus stops, I see people drive by staring at their phones, not the least bit concerned about where they're going.

I do not own a smartphone.
