I could smell burning and smoke at Heath St station and I immediately came here to see if there was anything posted. Thanks, Adam- you rarely disappoint.

That’s a terrible thing to say about this serious situation. I hope no one was hurt.

You know some of us deal with tragedy & sadness with humor. Remember that. its not always as it seems.
