Sheldon Kest lost half the middle finger on his right hand in the Sept. 29 NJ Transit crash, so he's using a different gesture to let the agency know how he feels: a lawsuit.
Kest, a 66-year-old technology manager who lives in Tenafly, was on the Pascack Valley Line train when it crashed at Hoboken Terminal on Sept. 29, killing one person and injuring Kest and 107 others. Graphic photographs displayed during a press conference Tuesday at the Hilton in Newark called by Kest's lawyers included one of him being led away from the train with blood running down his face, while another was a close-up of his finger stitched closed after being severed midway up.

BTTT.
It’s understandable !
Without that particular digit he won’t be able to communicate in Jersey!
I'd be curious to hear from lawyers on this, but my understanding is that the passengers who have suffered injuries in this crash may not collect a lot of money. I believe Federal law caps the aggregate financial exposure of the railroad in a case like this.
At least it wasn’t his pinky toe.
I don’t blame this guy. In NJ if you lose your middle finger yo lose your ability to drive!
Where’s that Guardian of the Galaxy JPEG where Starlord does the roll your middle finger thingy?
Toby!!!
HA! thats exactly what i was thinking :)
I first read Computer who lost middle finger. LOL
;)
It’s understandable !
Without that particular digit he won’t be able to communicate in Jersey!>>>> fu and the truck you rode in on ||.||
Ah the usual Jersey Shore greeting of welcome & friendship!
I will now make the proper reply, “Hey FU , you still doin’ your Mutha?”
For extra politeness you draw out that lays syllable in “Mutha” to “Mu-thaaa!”
Any word yet on the second black box that was stuck in the wreckage?

He lost his middle finger, right hand. I lost my middle finger left hand, in an industrial accident.
Can you imagine how awkward it is trying to stick your right hand out of the driver’s side window?

You can yell out, “Hey buddy, read between the lines”!
“Without that particular digit he won’t be able to communicate in Jersey!”
Yeah, almost as bad as losing his tongue!
Should be draw out theclast syllable!
My Surface keeps making bad spelling decisions!
It’s worse then me!
Shouldn't be that hard to sell negligence to a jury. Either the railroad hired an employee that was negligent, or they were negligent in the maintenance of their equipment (the maintenance was so poor, they couldn't even keep a black box recorder operating).
In addition to the pain and suffering, the guy is going to have trouble typing on his keyboard with 9 fingers, or even using a wheel mouse. Extra points to his lawyer if he can come up with a picture that will make a juror vomit.
LOL
Ya beat me to it!
