Complete Chaos on Metro's Red Line Snarls Wednesday Commute [VIDEO]

WASHINGTON, DC — Surge No. 10 may finally be over, but if Red Line commuters thought they were getting some relief on Wednesday from their headaches, they were sorely mistaken.

A disabled train, a medical emergency and general crowding problems combined to cause huge morning commute issues for Red Line Metro riders.

The problem was so bad that one Metro rider reported on Twitter that another train had to be used to push the disabled train at NoMa. Another rider tweeted that it took more than 40 minutes for WMATA personnel to call the fire department to assist a patient at Rhode Island Avenue station. And still another rider reported "serious egress problems" on the Red Line platform at Gallery Place.
