<p>had a very unfortunate end to my workday yesterday. i was downtown, and as usual rode the <ahref="http://www.gotransit.com/">go train</a> home. as we were approaching the aurora station, our train suddenly came to a halt. there was little information given to us passengers on the train other than there had been a "railroad crossing accident".</p>
<p>looking through the headlines this morning, it appears "accident" was a typical official euphemism. in reality, <ahref="http://www.thestar.ca/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&call_pageid=971358637177&c=Article&cid=1077059708152">two people were killed</a>. i feel awful :(</p>
