Washington DC Fire & EMS has been engaged in using social media sites such as their DCFIREEMS YouTube account. Yesterday they posted this video from the June 22 Washington DC Metro Orange Line Crash with this commentary:

These are images (edited of course) of the Metro Rail crash between the Ft. Totten and Tacoma Park stations. Video shows firefighters engaged in stabilization and extrication operations on the affected trains. Federal and local authorities continue to investigate the cause of the accident.
