Man Falls on Tracks, Train Runs Over Him, Survives

Posted on May 27th, 2008 by The SUBWAYblogger in Uncategorized

Subway Tracks

And you thought that ditch between the rails was there to collect water and muck (pictured here).  Well, you should also know it is there to save your life.

An unidentified man fell onto the tracks today at Delancey Street while waiting for the F train.  Luckily he fell in a way which allowed his body to fall into the cutout ditch between the rails.  Lucky?  Definitely, because an F train was just seconds away and ran over his body.

He was not injured from the train itself even though 3 cars rolled over him.  He fit into that space in the tracks.

He was taken to Bellevue condition unknown but apparently alive.

    Amazing. Still doesn’t beat the story about the man who jumped down and saved a guy.

    Nice to see a blogger from the other side of the world, the pits are called suicide pits on LUL and are only seen on the deep level tube lines like the Northern, Victoria, Piccadilly, Central and Jubilee lines.

    Omg. Imagine how me must’ve felt. But why did he fall? Accident? Fainted? Just the thought of being down there with all of the smelly rats, garbage and pee is scary, but at least he survivied.

    Maybe im crazy but when I wait for the train I always wait in a spot so im above those ditches and I mentally prepare myself to dive towards it if im ever pushed.

    I parse your headline to indicate that the train survived. Hardly surprising.

    Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    Was his last name Kent by any chance? Only Superman could survive something like that but that sure is one fortunate miracle, for sure.

    Thanks for the ideas you talk about through this web site. In addition, many young women who become pregnant don’t even attempt to get medical care insurance because they worry they might not qualify. Although many states at this moment require that insurers supply coverage in spite of the pre-existing conditions. Fees on these kinds of guaranteed options are usually greater, but when considering the high cost of medical care bills it may be a new safer route to take to protect your current financial future.

    One thing is the fact one of the most common incentives for applying your cards is a cash-back or even rebate provision. Generally, you will get 1-5% back upon various acquisitions. Depending on the card, you may get 1% again on most buying, and 5% again on acquisitions made using convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores in addition to ‘member merchants’.

    Thanks for your publication. I also believe laptop computers have grown to be more and more popular right now, and now tend to be the only form of computer used in a household. This is due to the fact that at the same time that they’re becoming more and more inexpensive, their processing power keeps growing to the point where these are as powerful as desktop from just a few in years past.

    I have seen loads of useful factors on your web site about desktops. However, I have got the view that netbooks are still not quite powerful sufficiently to be a wise decision if you usually do tasks that require many power, such as video editing and enhancing. But for net surfing, statement processing, and the majority of other frequent computer functions they are okay, provided you don’t mind the small screen size. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

    What I have generally told men and women is that when you are evaluating a good on the net electronics retail store, there are a few aspects that you have to remember to consider. First and foremost, you want to make sure to find a reputable plus reliable retail store that has picked up great critiques and rankings from other buyers and business world advisors. This will make certain you are getting through with a well-known store providing you with good service and aid to its patrons. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this web site.

    Also I believe that mesothelioma is a scarce form of melanoma that is typically found in individuals previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous cells form inside the mesothelium, which is a protecting lining that covers the vast majority of body’s areas. These cells generally form within the lining from the lungs, tummy, or the sac that really encircles the heart. Thanks for giving your ideas.

    Thank you for making the students have access to your website post. Your kindness is usually greatly appreciated. I’ve some ongoing assignments and I wanted them to assist me with it.

Of course, I will keep visit the site for new updates on this best and other issues of interest.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Thanks for your post. What I want to comment on is that when searching for a good online electronics shop, look for a web page with full information on important factors such as the security statement, basic safety details, payment methods, and various terms in addition to policies. Often take time to see the help plus FAQ pieces to get a much better idea of what sort of shop is effective, what they can do for you, and just how you can take full advantage of the features.

  31. And Another Person Falls Into The Tracks … said on May 27th, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    [...] Summer hits NYC and all the lovely ladies come out to sunbath in the park, birds start chirping, and people start jumping into the subway tracks.  I love summer in NYC!  This is the 524th time someone has “fallen” into the tracks in the last four weeks. I had to add a category to my blog… This time, the person survived by laying down into that murky rat-piss-crack water.  It will probably help out his immune system.  SubwayBlogger has a pic of where this dude hid, here. [...]

Have something to say? Here's your chance. Post it for all of us to read.
