This morning, September 14, was another nightmare for the commuters of new York.
Strange debris on the tracks near 50th Street station caused delays of trains 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 literally 7: 30am, that is the most that neither is a «rush hour».
According to the MTA, about 9.15 a.m. the wreckage was removed, but the delay of trains continued until almost 10 am. Metro has accumulated a huge number of passengers – a dense crowd, in which miraculously no one was hurt.
Hundreds of new Yorkers began to share photos of the collapse in social networks, expressing outrage.
«The MTA, I know there are serious problems with the infrastructure with which you guys work. But this is ridiculous,» wrote a passenger, Amelia Boehm.
Another passenger, Sarah Henkel shared a video with dark train. She said she along with other passengers stuck underground for 20 minutes without light and without air conditioning system. It happened near 86th street.
What kind of debris was on the tracks, is still unknown. The MTA stated that it was investigating the incident.
We will note, yesterday the fine for littering in the subway increased to $ 100. This is done in the framework of the initiative of the state of new York «Keep it Clean». According to the Governor of new York Andrew Cuomo, for last year more than 100 thousand (!) delays of trains in the subway was caused by the debris.
