This isn't a full-blown post, but I thought that today's fire in the Moscow metro deserved mention. 76 people were injured in a fire that started at the Okhotniy Ryad metro station during rush hour this morning.
Before you worry, I was not in the fire, though I did happen to be taking the metro to work as I do every morning. Luckily, I don't pass by that station, or even ride on that line. In fact, I hadn't even heard about the fire until I logged onto Facebook at around 1130pm and found that everyone here was talking about it. Strangely enough, it didn't come up at work at all (though I was busy, like, teaching and stuff). I'm glad to report that I (and everyone I know) am completely unharmed. And (perhaps inappropriately) now listening to this:
Too soon?
