i think what's more amazing than this man's heroics is that this took place in new york city.
Contrary to popular belief Manhattan and the outer lying boroughs are not war zones.
when i lived there, the subway wasn't exactly the most sociable location. but yeah, what the fuck do i know?
i think the closest washingtonville's ever come to being a war zone is when weir's opens for business, so i wouldn't exactly say you're an expert on the matter.
I work in the city. I've never felt unsafe in the subway, ever.
i didn't say they weren't safe, i said they weren't social atmospheres. i took the 1, 2 or 3 from christopher to 42nd daily, and aside from everyone minding their own business (only a handful of people were open to conversation, and a lot of the passengers were fairly jumpy when approached), the platforms and trains were crowded shoulder to shoulder throughout the day. my uncle, who incidentally also lives in washingtonville, used to be the chief inspector for the nyc subway system, and you wouldn't believe how many stories about people falling or jumping in front of trains he'd come home with daily. he never once came home with a story about anybody risking their lives to save anybody like that.
