Chemical Incident Closes Pentagon Metro Station
2004-12-06
Developing...
The Pentagon Metro station is closed at this hour while authorities investigate what they're calling a "chemical incident." Metro spokeswoman Cathy Asato says the station closed around 10:10 a.m. after people started complaining of eye irritation. Asato say it's unclear at this time what is going on. Trains are not stopping at the station. Asato says they're being turned around at the Pentagon City and Arlington Cemetery stations.
Stay tuned...

#7  Lh - We could kill 'em all (fry 'em up) and see if it happens again. Repeatable? Hey, the Scientific Method works for me.

#6  WMAL just reported that it may be Pepper Spray that was unintentionally released. Strange, eh?

Somebodies "goawaymuggersandrapists" kit malfunctioned, or some really wussy freelance jihadi trying to stir panic? How would we ever be able to figure out the difference?
