Kingsbridge Bus Posted March 30, 2010 Share #27 Posted March 30, 2010 I passed through the area today...from what I heard, some northbound trains were rerouted because of the incident. Where were they getting rerouted or where they being sent back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted March 30, 2010 Share #28 Posted March 30, 2010 Where were they getting rerouted or where they being sent back? They went via Lenox...some went to 148th and some went to the Bronx via WPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted March 30, 2010 Share #30 Posted March 30, 2010 Again? This is so pathetic.... we really need to get more cops on the platform for security and to watch and make sure people dont jump.. .EVER... people complain about service cuts, its partly because of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted March 30, 2010 Share #31 Posted March 30, 2010 Again? This is so pathetic.... we really need to get more cops on the platform for security and to watch and make sure people dont jump.. .EVER... people complain about service cuts, its partly because of this First, how do you know this guy was a jumper? He could have slipped and fell or something like that. Second, how will a cop on the platform stop some one? Even if they called it in right away, the PD dispatcher still has to call the TA who then tries to call the T/O of the closest train. Also, if someone is going to kill them self, they wait until the train is too close to stop. So again how would a cop on the platform prevent thins.

Kingsbridge Bus Posted March 30, 2010 Share #32 Posted March 30, 2010 How do you know this guy was a jumper? He could have slipped and fell or something like that. We will just have to wait & see whatever it turn out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted March 30, 2010 Share #33 Posted March 30, 2010 Approximately how many 12-9s occur every year, on average? I'm guessing that the press doesn't cover all incidences of people on the tracks. Approx. 90 a year. With just about 40 so far to date, and 1/4 of the way through the year, it's on pace for about 160 this year. So yes, this year the numbers are very high. The press doesn't usually cover it because covering "successful" suicides will often encourage others thinking of it to jump in front of trains. Obviously, nobody wants that.

LRG Posted March 30, 2010 Share #34 Posted March 30, 2010 First, how do you know this guy was a jumper? I actually heard it was a suicide, as a matter of fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted March 30, 2010 Share #35 Posted March 30, 2010 I actually heard it was a suicide, as a matter of fact. As of now, it's still just speculation. But like all things in life, that can change. I'm still waiting to hear how cops on the platform would stop this from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
