Lexington Av Local Posted February 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2011 Today in the morning i rode a that had a shattered window! Apparently the is REALLY strapped for money because it was "fixed" with scotch tape. Just a bunch of scotch tape. Not even duct take. I thought all the windows the uses are shatter proof. A window in the other car was also shattered and had scotch tape on it. On a side note, what happened to the this morning? I also saw an train that said "Shuttle" that started it's line at Atlantic Avenue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh*t happens.It doesn't mean the train completely broke down it could be a door malfunction or something.All trains break down thats why we have maintenance(Yards and shops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it was nothing too bad since the train completed the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no such thing as shatterproof glass, its only laminated to prevent glass shards from flying all over the place, and are you sure it was scotch tape and not the lamination?

Lexington Av Local Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted February 15, 2011 How much does anyone want to bet it was some thug/'gangsta' school kid that broke it? $5,000, the goes through some pretty bad areas (East New York for example). Those windows are pretty tough i imagine, i guess he had a hammer or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted February 15, 2011 Share #13 Posted February 15, 2011 Wirelessly posted via (BlackBerry8520/5.0.0.900 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100) Said train was most likely taken OOS once it got to either terminal. Probably a patch job for a put-in train, idk I always thought those windows were pretty damn thick except for the 75' cars where you can kick the end windows (not side windows) out in case of an emergency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
