This is what happens when the New York City subway literally feels like hell. Desperate straphangers stuck for nearly an hour in a powerless subway car with no air conditioning tried to break out of an F train at Manhattan's Broadway-Lafayette station Monday evening, video posted to Twitter shows.
That subway smells BAD.
That’s right up there with a life of no clean drinking water that 20% of the world has to suffer through. Is there a fund we can send money to?
Liberals aren’t human...that’s why they live in such conditions. Humans wouldn’t live that way.
It was a number of years ago that I got stuck for a half hour in a train under the East River, but at least back then, those little windows opened a little ways to get some air in there.
“...stuck for NEARLY AN HOUR!”
OMG! That’s equal to, say, a Coal Mine Disaster or a Landslide or something, where you’re trapped for days, weeks, MONTHS!
Man up, you NY wimps; you CHOOSE to live there!
Call your lovely MAYOR and complain that for a Fascist, he sure can’t get the trains to run on time! ROFLMAO!
Man, I crack myself UP!
Although I don't live there I've been riding the subway on a fairly regular basis for years and I can't recall a single time where my fellow passengers didn't appear to be desperate.
Trial run for SHTF EMP.
When I was in the Army the term ‘straphanger’ meant a sycophantic yes-man.
Reality is that one hour in what is basically a sealed container with a gazillion humans who involuntarily want to grab great gobs of air sounds like a serious problem. What is the interior volume of a car? I’m going to guess at about 7,500 ft3 i.e. 75’ x 10’ x 10’. An inactive human body needs about 20 or 30 cubic feet per hour of air? How many people could be on a crowded subway car... say 200 to 330? The math on this says that this was approaching a dangerous situation with not that much margin left. Good thing these things leak a bit....
I nearly posted that for emphasis!
Great! Now my evening is shot. Bee-Gee Marathon, coming up, LOL!
I doubt they couldn’t. They didn’t want to hold up the train in case the power came back.
Anyone who rides the NYC subway knows that it is ALWAYS hell, whether the AC works or not.
