Harrison writes: “Two people are reportedly trapped inside this small aircraft that has crashed into power lines near Goshen Road and Rothbury Drive in Montgomery Village near Gaithersburg. Rescue is still in progress over two hours after the plane crashed.”
Update from Pepco:
“Pepco is pleased to have successfully assisted Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services and other local emergency personnel with the effort to rescue the individuals who were stranded in the airplane in Montgomery County. As of 11:58 p.m., Pepco also has restored electric service for all customers impacted by incident.
The company is updating its online outage map to reflect the latest system status. Pepco continues its efforts working with local emergency services personnel at the site. The company will further stabilize the energy infrastructure at the scene and perform a full assessment of damage before planning and beginning repairs. It is too early to determine how long that assessment and repair process will take.
Due to the redundancy that Pepco builds into the local energy grid, the company was able to identify a path to restore service for all customers even while the electric lines impacted by this incident were deenergized.”
Update from WMATA: “Red Line Delay: Expect delays in both directions due to a power problem at Shady Grove.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
