Your commute could have been worse.

As bad as your over crowded train ride was this morning, it could have gotten a lot worse.  For example, you could have gotten off the subway and fell through a utility grate in the sidewalk!

Just climb back out, right?  Not so much.  Those things are deep!  And, factor in that no one is coming in to help you out until ConEd gets there to turn off the power.  A wonderful start to your morning.
