DC locals are considering the train operator a hero right now. In DC, the metro operators rely on the computer system and their responsibility is to open the doors when the reach the stations and to announce the stations on the intercom. There's evidence that she administered the manual brake and the emergency brake, and her cell phone was safely zipped away in her backpack, following regulations. The Post is reporting that the computer's sensor in that track had not read the previous train, so the train that was stopped on the track was invisible to the computer on the train that crashed into it.
