Throughout my entire life of living in NyC I have never seen someone get hit or been on a train that hit anyone.


As a matter of fact the one time a Jew committed suicide by my house I was in school when it happened.


There was a video where one operator said it was not a big deal to him and he got over it. Another one said it was too traumatizing

I've seen aftermath of it on two separate occasions.


Most recent was 72nd Street on the 2, female train operator hit someone and she was crying about it. Very pretty, slim, light skin black girl (the train operator) I didn't see the person who was hit. Eventually the FDNY came looking under and around the train for the body. After a while the NYPD kicked everybody off the platform and closed the S/B platform..



The other time was Spring Street on the E line, again, saw the aftermath. This time I saw the blood and the body

Fortunately I've never witnessed it happen but that recent one at 72nd had me have to hop on a bus. I was in the station after it happened. Just got a citizens app alert someone was pushed onto the tracks at the 47-50th Rockefeller stop. Suspect got away too.

The platform on 72nd is way too narrow. Anytime I have to take a train there I wait upstairs until the train pulls in.

I was on a train recently and we stopped. They said they had to investigate because the emergency brake went off. A conductor came through with a flash light looking on the tracks. I was in the last car and he saw something, went back up front, and they announced a fatality. We had to wait a little over an hour before before the train moved.

Why is there no safety measures to prevent it from happening?

My brother in law been a operator for like 7 or 8 years and it hasn't happened to him while was driving the train. He says he's been on the train on the way home from work twice when it happened in those 7/8 years.

I personally seen a chick commit that back when I was 14 or 15 ..... it was wild to see

This happened to my dad on the T in Boston

Said he even heard the conductor yell "Oh shyt!" And then heard a faint thud, then the train had to stop for like half an hour

As a kid I seen as Heroin fiend jump right in front of the train at Park Street station. All I heard was a *thud*
I also seen a lady's purse got caught in between the train doors at Ruggles Station. She was then dragged for a couple feet until some ppl alerted the conductor.

One day I was about to take the J train, decided nah I’ll just walk. Walking home heard a bunch of ambulances and fire trucks .... some Cac jumped in front of the train I was just about to take . Dude literally got scalped ....his scalp and a couple body parts fell to the street.


Personally I felt I dodged a bullet, I was so happy I wasn’t stuck on the train because of that idiot

Wall Street station 2/3 train in Manhattan is very narrow and gets over crowded during rush hour. Idk how that station almost never gets fatalities

People have suggested platform screen doors which some subway systems do have.


The problem is, we have different train fleets with different door sizes.

Kept someone from being trackside pizza one time...was in the Beverly St. Station, saw it across the way from me, n thought it was a bag of garbage from my view until I saw it was a homeless person, and yelled that someone fell in. Luckily, 2 people got him out after they heard me...that's why I at anyone still to this day looking over the edge for the train.

I never look for the train. It gets there when it gets there. Looking isn't making it show up faster. It's even dumber when most stations have the timers.

I always stay in the middle of the platform with my back against a wall or an object.

The IRT lines can do this easily. They could do it for the number lines for now.



the trains that come out of Broadway Junction Yards also have the same measurement cars as well. J/M/L/Z trains.


The trains that are stationed in the Coney Island And Jamaica Yards are the ones that have the mix match measurement issue.

As a southern bruh I’ve never thought about folks committing suicide by jumping in front of a train or that it’s so prevalent. That has to be so fukked up for the operators and it looked like most of the MTA folks were black in the video

Up north it’s probably one of the most common things. That or jumping off a bridge/building

This happened in the BX one time under the 2 line. The person head fell through the tracks and hit the ground below
