[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

there was an acident on the washington, d.c. metro (subway) where a 
blind person was killed a month ago.  this has led to some other 
members of the blind communicy  in the washington area to styart 
investigating the issue.  questions are being asked of how a person can 
be protected from walking off the platform and into the path of the 
fast moving subway car.  also we are looking into how to protect a 
person from walkinng in betwen the cars instead of finding the door and 
walking onto the car.  if anyone has any information i would like to be 
in touch by the board or leave me a private msg in the net mail area 
with a phone number and i will call you.  thanks in advance.
