Ottawa Now - A firsthand look at Wednesday's LRT snafu

In the wake of a menacing ice storm, Ottawa’s LRT faced a daunting test of survival. Unfortunately, Line 1 blinked, as an overhead cable snapped just before 1:30 Wednesday afternoon and forced the R1 bus fleet to take action.

But unfortunately for her, this transit curveball spoiled that plan. Both join Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
