Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 689 is a labor union representing 10,000 active and retired members of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Its members operate and maintain buses and trains and perform many other support functions. Many of the members work split shifts (am & pm rush with hours off in between) and others work late night hours. It often takes 20 years to get assignments that work a straight shift during the day with weekends off. Many transit workers work outside maintaining the system in all weather--heat, cold, rain, snow. Nearly all pitch in to work overtime during emergency situations. It is simply part of the job they do in order to insure safe, reliable service on the Washington Metro system.

Service Cuts, Job Losses at DC Metro
Dude was a skinwalker
Its a ritual now, every few years, watch this video, reminds me of what people are capable of.
I watched the video a few times. He looks fine. Obviously, he went through something terrible but he's coherent. He says hes tired and shocked. That's it. All of you saying he has ptsd, should become movie writers since you are all creative.
The worst thing after this is the guy ended up getting released then changed his name to protect his identity. Also, at least one of the first responding officers ended up killing himself from ptsd from that incident.
What the fuck
Nah this is crazy happened almost 16 years ago I wonder where this guy is in life rn
Why does he look like Ron Livingston?
Thousand yard stare
remember how privileged some of us are for having a car or parent or even a friend drive us to our destination.
this makes me so mad
I know, people are fucked
Doods clearly traumatised and shell-shocked after witnessing such gruesome and grisly behaviour. Many, many years of therapy beckons, poor lad.
Man’s got the hardcore coal chamber haircut
here we go again.
shit like this is why i never sleep in public, cross the street staring at my phone, or even sit next to people on public transit if it can be helped. this world is fucked and someone will see you as just an easy target if you're not lucky. even if nothing bad happens to you today, what about tomorrow?
With his accent, does this remind anyone else of the "Im going crazy over there by the lake" scene in Fargo?
For all the Canadians watching I hope you know that this guy is out of prison roaming the streets again. Yay Canada
That guy is so calm after such a traumatic experience.
Being someone who watched his step-dad blow his brains out after his ptsd was too much from 3 tours to Iraq I know that look in this man's eyes he's traumatized and still processing everything hope he got some kind of therapy because from first hand experience those nightmares never go away even 4 years later
Ofc this was in Manitoba
I’m sure it will shock many people, that the person who committed this attack (and also ate part of the victim) lives in the community again after spending 6 years in a mental hospital
Why is this just being recommended to me 15 business days later
Average greyhound bus experience
Last video before bed! Thanks UA-cam! 😊
I’m sure all the minibars liquors were empty next morning
how can you just do that to someone you just met, so rude. smh.
Legendary algorithm pull
There’s something genuinely scary about the thought of hearing a dog howl and baby crying concoction of a death scream.
Most brutal and horrifying murder Was there blood?💀
Poor guy is in shock.
The thousand year stare he keep giving & the emotionless, energetic recaping of events. Poor guy is tramatized. ptsd is no joke. I truly hope he is doing better today ❤
This story... is wild. That man will never be the same after seeing that shit
Wow! Thanks for recommending me this youtube.
You can tell by his eyes how much the event traumatized him. I feel so bad for him and hope now that he recoved from the event ❤
The killer was released in 2015 :/
The poor victim was just minding his own business and got killed in a brutal way out of nowhere 😞😞😞
Crazy to know the killer was not charged at all and only spent a couple years in psych ward
Has youtube recommendations gone insane??
Wow these interviewers are such fucking ignorant morons.
Fuck this alright I hate buses this just insane it's in recommended section this is insane sorry for the profanity but listen we have to stop these assholes from wrecking our lives god damn it.
why i got this in my recommnded?
Bro i swear, UA-cam be recommending traumatic videos from 10 years ago at the middle of the night (poor guy tho) 🫤🫤🫤
Same
Um why was recommended to me? also this stories sad😢
that's the thousand yard stare... I wonder if someone from my generation would have this humane reaction given that our generation grew up watching horrid sht like that on the internet. I am sure some of then would even whip out their phones to start filming cause they're pieces of sh like that. I've seen them people do that every time there's something _sensational_ (in a bad way) going on in front of them. you could be getting killed and all they do is film you to share it on the internet. the internet sure has exploited some of the worst features of some individuals. absolute anonymity proved detrimental overall for culture.
Yeah I’m not taking any public busses at all in the foreseeable future.
I wanna know why
Why what?
Maybe he was mentally insane
ben of the week... iykyk
Crazy how he didnt even mention how it couldve been him who was beheaded considering the killer was sitting next to him, and the beheaded guy was on the left to the killer.
Repent Jesus is coming soon he loves you guys and he wants a relationship with you guys
2024 still not done 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this guys out in the public now..
Yeah I've heard. Smh
