Nine people are dead after Monday afternoon's Metrorail collision in Washington. Federal and local officials are still at the scene trying to piece together what went wrong.

Federal officials have taken charge of the scene near the New Hampshire Avenue bridge in Northeast Washington.

Two men and seven women died in the crash, including the driver of the train that smashed into the back of the other - 42-year-old Jeanice McMillan of Springfield, VA.

She had only been a metro driver for a few months. Down the tracks from the crash, Fort Totten station was closed to red line traffic.

Carol Walker said she simply relied on the green line today, but she did notice something different about the trains. "There were empty front car trains," she said. "Pending finding out what really went, people are probably scared to sit in those front trains."

Officials are expected to give another update on the crash investigation at 5 o'clock today.

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
