I ride the subways 5 days a week, and I’m with you on this one. One or two glitches or stalled trains can easily back up a good portion of the system, especially in stations where various lines converge. Glad I wasn’t there that morning, though. :)
The crazy tinfoilers, here, know NOTHING at all about the things they post about, but then rail against those who actually know the facts. It does tend to get annoying and frustrating.
Just the other day, some woman got her head caught in a closing subway door and THAT incident closed down the WHOLE line for about an hour. The fools, here, don't even know that story, but IF they did, I bet they would claim that that had been some kind of "false flag"/terror incident/government controlled thing as well. THEY'RE MORONS...THE WOMAN TRIED TO LEAVE THE TRAIN TOO LATE, WAS ALL!
I'm SO glad that you weren't in that mess, on Friday morning! :-)
