Turns out a little kid got sucked into an escalator. I'm not sure if he/she? lost their leg or not- but it's a scene my fiancee will not soon forget. As for me- the only problem I have with the Metro escalators is when they aren't working (like today in Gallery Place) so it takes even longer to change trains in rush hour.

Sorry, but I'm going Republican on this one. People NEED to take personal responsibility for their own actions. Whether it's Crocs, flip flops, sandals, or anything else.

My toe is fine, although I don't know how bad your gouge was. Mine bled profusely, and I peroxided it and bandaged it. I limped for a few days, but could still ride my bike.
