As explained before, we were unexpectedly stuck in Union Station after riding the Metro to our stop near the Capitol. As we were halfway up the escalator, an alarm sounded, the escalator stopped, and people began to panic. We were able to walk up the escalator, but it was a walk into the crush of people unable to move forward. No word on why we were held there for so long- about ten minutes total- but it was a bit tense. Luckily, we made it out to fresh air eventually, thanks in no small part to the military folks you see in the video who jumped up on the escalator overhang and took charge. I'm afraid of heights, though, and thought I was going to black out when I saw them standing where they were...you should be able to see what I am talking about in the video clip.
