They trained, and they were prepared. No crying over nothing over here.

I saw this from a Blue Line train around 5:15 PM. At first I thought it might be a drill, but I have taken that train for years and never saw a drill in that area at that time. Plus there was just too much billowing inky black smoke for it to be something that was contained.
