Killed By Rudeness
This never should be done, no matter how inconsiderate your fellow passengers are being by not moving all the way into the car:
Posted: October 19th, 2006 | Filed under: Just Horrible, Public Service AnnouncementsA man trying to board a crowded C train between cars was crushed to death last night when the train started moving and he became wedged against the platform, police said.
“It was an accident,” said a sobbing witness, Kristina Kremer, at the 14th St. station in Manhattan. “It wasn’t intentional. He was trying to get on the train. He was like, ‘Oh, my God!'”
The packed subway pulled in about 8 p.m., and the victim tried to climb over a gate between the first and second cars, police at the scene said.
When the uptown train started to pull out, the man became stuck between the platform and the train and was dragged about 50 feet, leaving a gruesome trail of blood along the train’s second car.
