Danger Train apparently strikes pedestrian; KPRC website pulls story (updated)

Earlier in the week, the Danger Train apparently struck a pedestrian.

The original story was here on the KPRC-2 site, but that link no longer works, so here is the cached google version.

A version was also posted to MSNBC.

Nothing on the web ever truly goes away, which may come as news to the KPRC web editor (as well as Richard Justice). But wouldn't it be nice if someone elaborated on this news, instead of trying (unsuccessfully) to pull the news story?

ANNE LINEHAN ADDS: In the forum, Royko notes that in spite of the general local media blackout on Danger Train accidents, they are still happening:

How many have heard about the 39 tram incidents in 2008?

Well, none of us have heard of the 39 accidents because local media isn't interested in reporting them, and METRO definitely isn't interested in sharing them, unless there's a TXPIA involved.

Be sure to follow the link to see some of the Danger Train "highlights" so far this year.
