spatchThere was a Green Line accident this morning at Boylston Street, two trains collided and folks went to the hospital and all. The Glob online is running a story complete with a humonjus picture of an injured rider being taken out on a backboard right past a station decoration of the MBTA's cartoon Charlie mascot grinning and giving the thumbs-up.
On the one hand the irony of this picture is morbidly amusing, but on the other hand my god, my object empathy (which I described a few years ago) is flaring up something fierce.

(_Of course_ you mention that your neck might hurt if it does in the slightest after something like that. And _of course_ it will have to be checked out, and _of course_ you will be taken out on a board. But they seemed to want to get the most newspapery dramaticy picture possible.)
