Ashy and I were just in a train crash!

[Piratecat]

Ashy was visiting Boston this week, and this morning we went in early to explore the city. On our way back (200 yards from my stop!) our subway train rear-ended another stopped train, crushing its rear completely. I have no idea why; I suspect that our driver fell asleep.

When we hit, Ashy was smart. He hung on.

I, however, ended up cartwheeling forward about fifteen feet. I've got a bruised elbow and shin, but nothing worse thank goodness. There looked to be some whiplash and at least one broken nose.

Ouchy -- but at least he can't say I didn't show him a good time.

Holy cow... thank goodness it wasn't worse!

 

[Umbran]

Hm. Glad to hear you weren't seriously hurt. And a good thing I was saving my trip into Harvard Square for the afternoon!

*strains to find a geeky way to pun off this story*

*keeps straining*

Aha!

"What's the bull rush modifier for a subway train?"

 

[alsih2o]

Glad you are both OK!

 

[Piratecat]

My elbow and shins are hurting like a SOB, but it's just bruising. If it still hurts tomorrow, I'll see a Doctor (I went back and reported myself to a police officer so that they had me as being on the train.) It could have been much worse.

That'll teach me to ride the T. Cripes.

Glad you weren't severely injured. Nine lives, Pkitty.

Wow. I saw that on the news. Totally didn't think about the number of members here in Boston. Glad to hear you're okay.

The news made it sound like there was a lot of damage to metal, but pretty minimal to people. Is that accurate?

Glad that both of you are ok. Hope that your bruises heal up quickly.
