More obviously fucked up people setting up shop in cars and making them impossible to stay in, severely damaged people losing their minds, lots of people going unmasked and sitting down next to you, tempers running high generally all over

Eight people aboard a northbound 1 train were injured when it collided with a work train around 3 p.m., according to officials and an internal police report about the collision. The injuries were not considered life-threatening, but those passengers were taken to hospitals, the report said.


Still, fucking scary, and there’s a lot of ground between trivial and not considered life-threatening.

How many things would have to go wrong in exactly the right way for that to happen… it seems inconceivable in 2024

This was such an incredible screw up. Should cost some folks their jobs really. https://t.co/SzzIJp6boy

The crash so far:
- Someone/someones pulled a bunch of emergency brake cords on a northbound No. 1 train at the 96th Street station
- The No. 1s behind it were rerouted onto the express
- One of those was crossing back when the stuck train somehow started moving again.
