    Very sad, but also very poetic. I can only think that he wanted to make things better but couldn't because of government red tape. Sad.

    Of all people to do something like this - knowing the impact it has on the engineers, the witnesses, the passengers, everyone up and down the line (literally and figuratively). No one knows better than him, the domino effect of an act like this. Seems like a big Eff You to MARTA.
    You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

    I've never been on Marta and I'm afraid to get on public transportation unless I'm a major city like New York or Chicago or Paris. I've heard horror stories about Marta.
    When I lived around Atlanta, I was told Marta was short for Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta.
