Remembering Metrorail Operator Jeanice McMillan
Two years ago today the deadliest crash on Washington's subway system occurred. Train operator Jeanice McMillan and eight passengers lost their lives in the accident. Dozens of others were injured. As the runaway train careened towards a stopped train, McMillan showed tremendous courage. She kept her post in the conductor’s cabin and applied the brakes, never giving up and never knowing that the circuitry that controlled the brakes had failed. McKinney pauses on this day to pay tribute to McMillan. She made the ultimate sacrifice for the passengers in her care.
