The sons of a woman who died after smoke filled a Washington subway train are suing the Metro transit agency for $50 million. Attorney Patrick Regan filed the lawsuit Friday on behalf of Marcus and Anthony Glover, the adult sons of Carol Glover. The lawsuit accuses Metro of negligence that led directly to the 61-year-old Glover's death. It says she was trapped on the smoke-filled train near the L'Enfant Plaza station for 45 minutes before rescuers arrived. At that point, the lawsuit says she had no pulse.
