Now, Metro has released its own footage of the incident, accompanied by what can only be called a bone-dry description: “The water quickly rose over the curb and into the station. There were no injuries. Red Line service was unaffected; however the station was closed for several hours to dry out and inspect the escalators.”
The one-minute-long film covers about 14 real-time minutes. Perhaps most notable is a woman who stood on the stairs for minutes:
And wandered around the flooded station.
