This is certainly reassuring:
A total of 83 people were taken to the hospital after the Metro tunnel filled with smoke, shutting down the Green and Yellow lines in the nation’s capital.
The L’Enfant Plaza station, just south of the National Mall near the Smithsonian buildings, was shut down as the DC fire department looked for a fire. No fire was found, and as of Monday evening, authorities were still unable to say what caused the event [emphasis mine - P.].

But one is dead...why?
Maybe you need to add a drop down oxygen mask to your fedora, Paco.
kc: Smoke inhalation. Updated versions of the story revealed that there was a train in the tunnel where all the smoke was coming from. The train began filling with smoke, yet I believe it was 45 minutes to an hour before they were evacuated. Most of the people on the train required some degree of medical attention.
R-man: Once again, a great new product idea!

Good lord! I backed up, added a word, and got double posted.
