Mysterious2train Posted February 20, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 20, 2011 Ouch. At least it's on a Sunday. But of all places to end service, why 86th St? Will they send the down the line or something? (although the I think is running reduced service this weekend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Local Posted February 20, 2011 Share #3 Posted February 20, 2011 Please tell me that its not a 12-9 or someone stuck on the gap because what happened before is that Downtown are terminating at 86th Street and Downtown trains are running on the line. So something is wrong at maybe the downtown platform on that station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted February 20, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 20, 2011 That station seems to be suffering from something every month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67thAve Posted February 21, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 21, 2011 I was at Grand Central when this happened. When I saw the 4 waiting longer than normal, I rushed to the shuttle. I went to the last car and I got a seat before it became packed. At Times Square, there were 2 staircases to the Broadway Line. (Which I already knew.) The difference is everyone was crammed on one staircase, while the other was empty. Then I caught my R to 23rd Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdi919 Posted February 21, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 21, 2011 it was a 12/9. a 80 year old man with a walker wandered into a void area behind the platform, then stepped out in front of a train. he was clipped but was taken from the station alive. now if he made it to the hospital i dont know. if not for the flagging set up to slow trains for the G.O. he probably would have been in a million pieces.

w8Hou Posted February 21, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 21, 2011 NY Post has a better version of this incident.... Blind luck in subway A partially blind 84-year-old man suffering from Alzheimer's miraculously survived a close encounter with a speeding No. train after he wandered onto the tracks -- walker and all -- yesterday. Anatoliy Zilberman lost several toes off his left foot and suffered severe bruising when the train nearly smashed into him on the express track just north of Union Square, police said. Police are unsure how Zilberman, who lives in an assisted-living facility for the blind with his wife on East 23rd Street, ended up on the track and so deep in the tunnel. Zilberman was taken to Bellevue Hospital, medical staff said. His home health aide said Zilberman had told his wife that he wanted to go out for a walk and then vanished.

Another one avoids death i know because i set up the flagging north of the station. since no one saw him on the platform, some are wondering if he wandered down the G O track from 23st.

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 22, 2011 Share #14 Posted February 22, 2011 How the hell did a blind person get on the tracks if he can't even see how to get down there. Did he have some sort of super intelligence or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Local Posted February 23, 2011 Share #15 Posted February 23, 2011 I don't think that the blind man knows where he's going. It's because he can't see. I mean seriously, if he's on the tracks, he should felt the feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
