Commuters got an X-rated show Monday when porn was streamed on a screen at Washington DC’s Union Station during rush hour.
Officials said the screen, which usually shows ads, may have been hacked, according to WRC-TV. The incident is under investigation.
The steamy footage first caught commuters attention around 5:30 p.m. and was captured in a now-deleted video shared to social media.
The sexually explicit content lasted for around three minutes and was reportedly streamed from the site PornHub.

Station employees acted quickly and were able to shut off the display screen, the Washington Post first reported.
“I was pretty speechless. I couldn’t believe this was happening in public and especially during rush hour,” a witness told the Washington Post.
The Union Station Redevelopment Corporation has requested information from the company that leases and manages the property.
“With all this new technology comes a lot of things we don’t expect,” president and CEO Beverly Swaim-Staley told WRC-TV.
The potential hack comes as authorities are investigating a global “ransomware” attack that hit more than 150 countries.
