rr4567 Posted January 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2011 NOBODY told him to walk near the EDGE of the platform. And wasn't he drinking ALCOHOL that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R160 Posted January 19, 2011 Share #3 Posted January 19, 2011 I guess he didn't hear the announcement that says: "Please stand away from the platform edge". I'm also guessing he didn't see the text on the floor that says: "Stand Aside". I'm also guessing that he wasn't paying attention because it requires serious skill to get stuck there. He was probably less than a foot away from the train when it was still moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgor Posted January 19, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 19, 2011 If he was helped immediately, I'd say that this case is ridiculous. But the fact that he wasn't helped for 30 minutes may mean he may have a small case, but definitely not 15 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted January 20, 2011 Share #12 Posted January 20, 2011 I hope the lawyers take their 30% regardless. Why? They've done nothing to deserve it. I hope the judge fines the plaintiff and his lawyer $100,000 for wasting the taxpayers' time and money. It won't happen but this is America and at least I can still dream here. That's one right the rich, their lackey politicians, and idiots haven't taken away (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messino Posted January 20, 2011 Share #13 Posted January 20, 2011 From what a witness posted on another site, this guy was pretty drunk and when he got stuck the first thing he was worried about was hiding his beer can that was on the platform next to him.

If his Blood Alcohol Content was 1.0 that would mean his entire blood was booze and he'd long have since been dead. Anything over 0.4 is usually fatal.

Fresh Pond Posted January 20, 2011 Share #16 Posted January 20, 2011 Wirelessly posted via (BlackBerry8520/5.0.0.900 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100) I read that in the paper at work today. In it they said there want many sings there. But at every gap filler, there's a red sign overhead, its painted on the floor (albeit faded in some places), and they anounce it every 2 minutes. I see enough coverage there. Plus the last paragraph said that the South Ferry has the chains that extended with the platform. That station has been rendered moot once the new station opened a few years back. Also, the curvature of the track at that station was far more grater than at Union Sq.

PopsicleXGirl Posted January 20, 2011 Share #19 Posted January 20, 2011 fact of the matter is after he fell it is now in the MTA's hands... waiting over 30 minutes in agony to be freed? how could they not have installed an emergency release? he is lucky to be alive and he deserves whatever money he gets awarded in my book. that was a freak accident which turned into a complete disaster on the MTA's part.

NYtransit Posted January 21, 2011 Share #21 Posted January 21, 2011 Just like the MTA did with walking between train doors, The mta should make it illegal to walk on the curved platform edges when the train doors close. Even though it may cause some issues,its the only way people can start using there minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but he was drunk. So who in there right mind would take the subway while being wayy above the alcohol rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted January 21, 2011 Share #23 Posted January 21, 2011 Once again the only way to remove the gap fillers would be to close the 14th Street station, and reopen the 18th Street station, but rebuild the station so it would be an express station. It can successfully replace the 14th Street station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted January 21, 2011 Share #24 Posted January 21, 2011 Many would object if those getting off at Union Square lose their transfer to the Broadway and Canarsie lines. (if they do get off there to transfer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted January 21, 2011 Share #25 Posted January 21, 2011 Once again just redesign the whole station so the 14th Street station would become a passageway so people can transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
