Why is there so many subway incidents lately

bronxUser1599862030Oct 5 at 8:33 AM

The guy got struck and the train immediately stopped. The conductor ran through the cart and told everyone someone got hit by the train. Her walkie talkie said he was under the same cart I was in. They waited and let us out through the connecting doors. Seeing that many firefighters with crowbars and shit was frightening.
