Of Brickbats and AirTalks

Just as I scurried out of Monday night's meeting of the Pasadena City Council, a Gold Line train slid into the Holly Street station with its front window smashed in. The conductor was soon taken out on a gurney, his face covered in blood after the window apparently shattered and showered him with glass.

I didn't have a chance to follow up today, but it seemed likely someone might have dropped something from one of a freeway overpass as the train was coming from the Lake Avenue station.

Driving back to the newsroom, I heard a promo that Larry Mantle would interview new Superintendent Edwin Diaz of the PUSD this morning. The show rebroadcasts at some point this afternoon, and should be available for a little while online at the above link.
