Worker trapped after DC row house partly collapses on V Street NW

A row house partially collapsed in Northwest Washington, D.C., on Monday morning, trapping a worker inside, D.C. officials said.

The rear of a two-story row home crumbled in the 1100 block of V Street NW and left the worker “severely trapped,” D.C. Fire and EMS officials said in a statement on social media.

Photos show debris piled near a building that looks destroyed from the back and first responders in D.C. Fire and EMS uniforms climbing over rubble. A yellow pole appears to prop up part of an upper-floor room that’s tilted downward.

“Patient is trapped under bricks,” an emergency dispatcher can be heard saying on audio of a call to authorities.

Crews are working to rescue the trapped worker and secure hazards, D.C. Fire and EMS said.

It’s unclear why the building collapsed.

Amtrak trains delayed along Northeast Corridor from D.C. to Boston, officials say – The Boston Globe

Amtrak passengers faced delays of 30 to 60 minutes Sunday night because of power line issues along the Northeast Corridor, which provides service between Washington, D.C., and Boston, according to a statement released by the rail service.

Downed overhead wires affected trains operating from Washington’s Union Station to Boston’s South Station, according to Amtrak. Residual delays could occur due to crew shortages, Amtrak said in the statement.

The issues began earlier Sunday, when service was suspended on four tracks shuttling passengers between Pennsylvania Station in New York and William H. Gray III 30th Street Station in Philadelphia because of power issues, according to previous statements from Amtrak. As of 7 p.m., service on one of the four tracks was fully restored, while two tracks were operating at reduced speeds, and one remained out of service.

Amtrak customers with reservations on affected trains will typically be accommodated on trains with similar departure times or on another day, according to the statement. Amtrak will waive additional charges for customers looking to change their reservation during the modified schedule by calling the line’s reservation center at 1-800-USA-RAIL.
