R160 Posted February 28, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 28, 2011 There was a 12-9 at Union Turnpike earlier around 3:15 PM. and trains ran on the local track at Union Turnpike and then switched back to the express after that. According the the MTA website, service is running with residual delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 28, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 28, 2011 Did someone kill themselves, or drop a cellphone, or did they get dizzy, and fall over, and are they alright?. I am sure we are now really close to seeing platform screen doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure we are now really close to seeing platform screen doors. Not sure. My sister was there when the train hit the man, but she said she didn't see anything.

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 28, 2011 Share #7 Posted February 28, 2011 No way this person would live. Sounds like they got on the wheels, and the bottom of the train. We have a death folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted February 28, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 28, 2011 terrible to have to see that, and not be able to help the person. At least the person who saw it did not try to jump onto the tracks to help, then it would be 2 12-9's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Local Posted February 28, 2011 Share #9 Posted February 28, 2011 Why does the 12-9 occur so much in the subway?! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted February 28, 2011 Share #10 Posted February 28, 2011 Why does the 12-9 occur so much in the subway?! :mad: because idiots, like the ones on their cellphones, don't pay attention and walk right onto the tracks, or someone else drops their smartphone into the tracks and they risk their lives climbing down trying to get it back. smh :tdown:.

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 28, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 28, 2011 People are stupid, and they do stupid things for stupid reasons. Just like the blind guy that for some god damn reason got on the tracks, and got hit by a train. This is a poster that best explains the most 12-9's that happen in this subway system.

INDman Posted February 28, 2011 Share #13 Posted February 28, 2011 Why does the 12-9 occur so much in the subway?! :mad: They have always happened, usually 2 or 3 a week. People hear about them more know because of the internet. Before, you would just have a service disruption and that was that, now people can find out what happened form the MTA site. Also, the MTA is not going to get platform screen doors, so will people stop saying that their getting close to doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTrainExp Posted February 28, 2011 Share #14 Posted February 28, 2011 Just like the blind guy that for some god damn reason got on the tracks, and got hit by a train. If he was blind then he had a legitimate excuse. You can't expect all blind people to be familiar with the subway system and where the edges are as well as have sharp hearing, but then again, if I was blind I wouldn't be riding the subway in the first place. This is a shame if it was the fault of the person him/herself. If the person was pushed, then he/she has my sympathies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacsnyy Posted March 1, 2011 Share #16 Posted March 1, 2011 It appears there is another one at Nevins. There is an out of service R142 train on the local track with cops and MTA personal focusing on the 2nd to last car. All , , , trains are bypassing the station but I was on a bypassing and by what I saw, it appears there was another 12-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTK246 Posted March 1, 2011 Share #17 Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah I know. All trains ran on the local track due to a 'police investigation' at Eastern Parkway. (strangely enough we stopped there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted March 1, 2011 Share #18 Posted March 1, 2011 2 12-9's in one day. We would most likely be seing this in the news tomorrow, and I am most certain that politicians are going to be very happy seing this as they can push for platform screen doors, or to slow trains down, and use today as an example.

Roadcruiser1 Posted March 1, 2011 Share #25 Posted March 1, 2011 I think it has something to do with the economy. People are killing themselves when they don't have the money to take care of themselves, or their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
