Yeah i saw the video that shows how the drunk lady just fell on the tracks. I thought it was funny til the train started comin, then it was kind of a nail biting ordeal, but still funny. Or it might be just me...

I guess it’s not safe to drink and ride.

Maybe if the conductor used the emergency brake instead of whatever an emergency "break" is that would have helped?

"People on the platform frantically waved at the conductor, who quickly threw the emergency break and abruptly stopped the train. The woman crawled out with only a few scratches."

Obviously, these subway platforms are way too dangerous and should be shutdown immediately!!! Are we going to wait for more people to be injured or killed?

That would be the headlines if the media was against mass transit, which they would never be caught dead on!



P.S. An "emergency break" is a union rule, allowing union members to take a break whenever they deem necessary. In this case the conductor had to call home and stopped before the station so the passengers wouldn't notice.
