Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | On July 25, 1971, a brake failure on the red train resulted in it striking the girder at the end of the track in the Seattle Center station, causing injuries to 26 passengers. In 2002 and 2003, passengers were evacuated by ladder after trains stalled on the track. On May 31, 2004, a fire broke out on the monorail with 150 people aboard. No one was killed; five passengers were taken to the hospital, none of them burned. The line was closed until December 16, 2004, when service resumed with one of the two trains (the "red train," newly fireproofed) in operation. On November 26, 2005, the two trains clipped one another on a curve, shearing a door off one train, smashing glass, and raining shards over passengers. Two people were hospitalized with minor injuries; no one else was seriously hurt. Poor design and driver error were blamed for the crash. In 1988, the space between the monorail tracks had been reduced at the southern end of the line to make room for the new Westlake Center. |
