Mourning DC pedestrians

A Metro Bus killed 2 pedestrians in a crosswalk on Pennsylvania Ave. last night at around 6 pm. They had the light, and the bus driver's been charged with negligent homicide. Even more shocking and awful, did you realize this is the third fatal Metro Bus accident in eight months? (WP)

Let this be a reminder to us all that just because you're in a crosswalk, crossing with the light, does not mean that a Metro Bus or one of those damn 12 foot high Escalades with Virginia plates isn't going to plow right through you (can the people in the cockpits of those things even see a five-foot-tall pedestrian in front of them? Doubt it). Be careful out there...
