The incident occurred Dec. 23 and was made public in several news reports this week.

The unidentified operator was also reportedly unresponsive to Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Authority's control center for about 45 minutes. 

Officials at the center tried to reach the train operator at roughly 10:44 p.m., 12 minutes after the train missed the stop in suburban Virginia.

The Metrorail operator will not be returning to his job, the spokesperson also said. "He will not be allowed to return to work per Metro’s rules, which strictly enforce drug and alcohol policies.

Too bad they can't revoke or suspend is vehicle driving license too since he probably was over the legal limit for that too.

FAA releases audio from deadly Wings Over Dallas Air Show crash between air boss, pilots

“Fighters will be a big pull and up to the right,” was the last transmission from the air boss before the crash at 1:21 p.m.

A moment of silence in the audio occurs before the air boss, with urgency in his voice, says “Knock it off. Knock it off. Roll the trucks. Roll the trucks.”

He tells some aircraft to hold position and seemingly diverts others to Lancaster Airport nearby as emergency responders and fire engines began responding to the crash.

The close call happened on Friday at John F Kennedy International Airport, between a Boeing 777 headed to the UK and a Boeing 737 headed to the Dominican Republic.

One plane was about to take off while the other was crossing the same runway.

The collision was averted when an air controller noticed the two.

Using an expletive, the air traffic controller attempted to stop the Delta aeroplane as it was preparing to take wing.

... The FAA said the planes were around 1,000ft (300m) away from each other when the Delta aircraft stopped. It has since launched an investigation into the near collision.

You can be lucky.

Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Police in New Hampshire said a driver was lucky to escape injury when a massive tree branch impaled the windshield of their car.
