This is Very, Very Troubling

That's what D.C. Council member Phil Mendelson said in response to this incident, in which two murder suspects pulled off a feat of near-impossibility by escaping from a D.C. jail. Their brilliantly-concocted escape plan involved (now bear with me, as this gets kind of complicated): (1) smashing through a window using office furniture; and then (2) taking a metro bus to the Orange Line's Minnesota Avenue stop.

I guarantee that if they were commuting to work rather than escaping from prison, the metro bus would've been delayed by 30 minutes...
