Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]
Read MorePerson Killed by Subway Train at 116th Street
Around 7:30am, a report of a person struck by a train went out across police radios.
The incident occurred around 116th Street & Broadway on the Uptown 1 line. The thing we find odd is the report that the person was dead on arrival between 116th and 125th. That makes it sound like the person may have been in the tunnel when they were hit. That’s just an assumption.
Typically, people that jump or fall off the platform die right there. There’s no report of the bodies being found “between” stops.
However, I suppose it is possible that he person was hit and dragged as the train pulled out of the station.
The incident tied up trains for hours right in the heart of rush hour. Beyond that, not too many details are available. That makes me think that it was probably a homeless person living in the tunnels that got hit.
China has 16,000 video cams that feed into one police station in Shanghai. So the poor cummunists can afford it. Is there a good reason why we don’t have the entire subway system thing wired? Can we pay someone to evaluate the MTA and get rid of the entire management and run the thing 3 times as good for half the price?
ReplyI was on a surface train that hit and killed a homeless man. We were stuck on the train for 4 hours while cops did an investigation and many people onboard had no drinks. Some were diabetics. I feel sorry for the people that got stuck for a long time.
ReplyI think it’s sad that a person was killed in that way no matter who they were. That’s a very scary/terrifying way to go. In the even that that happens and people are stuck on the train, the mta should have some kind of emergency plan to evacuate the people on board toward another stop and let them out. I remember i was once going to school, say last year. The train was in the station for about 45 mins-1hr. We were really nervous scared and didnt know why the train was stuck between 23rd and 34th street. We never found out what happened but that was just a very scary thing.
ReplyI knew the person who was hit and he was NOT A HOMELESS PERSON! He’s my friends cousin and meant the world to everyone. So sad this happened. Hope the investigation reveals what really happened. RIP
ReplyDo homeless people really live in the tunnels? I can’t grasp where there’s room, or any livability?
ReplyA young boy named adam was hit by this train…He will be missed dearly. Funny how everyone knows about a drunk man who gets money by a train incident but a death of a young male goes unheard of!!
ReplyMoHo. U are retarded. And ignorant. You sound like you’re 12 years old. Stop wasting your company’s time and stop getting online when you should be at work- working. Not blogging. If you work at all. . .
Sario, I agree with you.
R.I.P. Adham. Rock star!
Reply@Moho:
There’s actually lots of room if you know where to look. There’s service areas, and all kinds of spaces.
There’s even entire train stations that are long since abandoned. There’s an old 89th Street stop on the 1,2,3. You can see it in the dark when you roll by. It’s sorter than todays platforms.
It’s packed with trash and who knows what from people living down there.
These old platforms were just boarded up one day and walked away from. In many cases, it’s like a snapshot in time. They still look just the way they did (but dirtier) when they were closed.

ReplyI agree.
Asking valid questions is fur LOSERS ONLY
get outta here KID
this is fur Adults
R.I.P. Adham. I did not know this young man, but my daughter went to school with him and she is heartbroken. I wish the negativity and assumptions would stop. Bottom line a life was lost. From what I understand this young gentleman was full of life and many people fed off of his happy smile and demeanor, he lit up the room. Instead of assuming let us just think for a moment that if this happened to your loved one you would not like the comments to be fired in that direction. God Bless Adham, his family, and friends.
ReplyThis was my cousin adham that was killed. He was not homeless. To New York Pork Bun Im sorry that people got stuck on the train for sooo many hours. but Imagine how we feel that we will never see, hear, or be able to speak to our cousin. He was only 17. I hope NY Pork Bun that it was not too much of an inconvenience for you (notice my sarcastic tone and my eyes rolling!)….. R.I.P. Adham we love you and miss you sooo much
ReplyI am truly sorry for your loss L. But for you to complain that I’m looking out for diabetic childrens who need medicine and babies who could die without hydration and all the asthma peoples too while police keep them locked up and suffocating in a subway car… you are truly cold. You mock the old people and infants that might die being stranded for hours without water as an “inconvenience”?
ReplyPork Bun. Your comment last comment is a sad attempt at trying to make your inappropriate comment justifiable. Whille I agree that it is an incovenience to get stuck on a train nowadays one must be prepared. Diabetics should ALWAYS be prepared. Sick children should be home and if on a train should have a responsible adult ready to handle an emergency situation such as extra water, snack, diapers, medicine. In order for a person to die without water it would take a long time. People with asthma are just like the diabetics they should ALWAYS be prepared. What I find an incovenience is people like you. So what if you got stuck on a train for 3 hours think about the mother that doesn’t have her son to hold anymore or my daughter who will not hear his voice or see him make his silly faces. Guess what? I am rolling my eyes at you too!…..Lourdes – please let Adham’s mom know that I made purple ribbons for my daughter to give out in school – so if she ever sees someone wearing a purple ribbon it is in his memory.@Pork Bun:

@Pork Bun: Thanks mom! and Tiffany’s Mom I will tell my aunt when she comes back from the funeral we really appreciate your support and I hope your daughter is well. As for pork bun I just wish that you are never in our shoes. I am pretty sure that diabetics carry what they need as well as children and anyother person with a medical condition. Being stuck on a train does not compare to being in a coffin regardless of who lost their life. If you were truly sorry for my lost you would have left your comment at that. I do not intend to have a back and forth discussion with anyone and I hope you can respect that. Thanks
Replyshit i miss adham brenes we used to purposely get in trouble in mr shonk freshmen religion class rip im sorry for ur lost friends and family
ReplyWho are you people to be making assumptions about a guy who died if you know absolutely nothing about it in the first place. It’s offensive to friends and family. He was not a homless person. He was an amazing and well known guy who was loved and cared for by many, No one knows the full story. So just shut up. R.I.P AHDAM BRENES~ you will always be loved and never forgotten!!!~

ReplyWow people like Pork Bun make me sad and dissapointed That’s all im saying. Adham was an awesome person who still and always will live in all of our hearts. Gosh i miss Adham (or as i called him since we were younger Ad-Ham) soo much. He was loved by so many friends and family it was really touching to see everyone who went to pay respect to him. I’am never going to forget the moment we met and the good times we had. To all his family & friends sorry for your loss for we all have lost an amazing part of our lives but gained an amazing Angel. He is watching over each and every one of us as we watched him. God bless you all. R.I.P ADHAM BRENES. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH.
ReplyHE WASN’T A HOMELESS PERSON!! His name was Adham Brenes, you should do reseach before bloggin and not make assumptions like that. You should correct your error and apollogize.
Replydoes anyone know what exactly happened?
ReplyThis is adham’s cousin. Jane I find it very disrespectful to ask the details of someone’s death. Especially on the internet. Have you no couth? All people need to know is that he passed away too soon. Nothing more, nothing less. It was a tragic loss but I do not think the details should be displayed in the internet like a circus show.
ReplyPatricia I understand you are upset, I was too at first but the blogger is only writing his thoughts or the situation at that moment. Blogging is like keeping an hourly journal you are only going to write what you know at that point in time. I am sure that the blogger did not mean to offend anyone. and thank you for caring about Adham. We really appreciate it.

Replyyo soy tia de adham y es lo mas horrible que he tenido que pasar , es un dolor indescriptible , es algo que te asfixcia ,la muerte de adham no duele tanto , espero que se resuelva como es que sucedio eso
I just found out about this tragedy. He was an only son from a very good family. I know him from when he was very young. I am so sad that this happened to such of lovely boy. I remember him playing in the park. I remember working with his mother in school activities. Arcadia I pray for you to find peace.
ReplyMy heart goes out to all the friends and family of Adham. I never met him but I know about him through my daughter. While it is very hard to let got of someone so special it is wonderful to know that Adham is always with you and has left wonderful memories. Like I said I never met him and yet I find myself going to youtube just to hear his voice. To all his friends at school – I think it would be so nice to have a little mass in his memory if this is something you are interested in – please send me an email to: ortiz.jackie@gmail.com. It would be nice to do this in his memory – I will get the school to send a message to the family if I get enough responses. Thanks! R.I.P. Adham!

ReplyWow, that is a trajedy. I pray for the mother. The cause of death just trajic
Replyanyone ever realized how people, when they die, suddenly become flawless? Almost like saints. They were caring altruistic people, full of life, who lighted everyone with their smiles. But it isn’t their fault — it’s their family members, friends, and everyone who lost them. They lose their minds and all objectivity. Friends and family members of the victims deserve no respect and should never ever get any media attention, they become totally retarded, and there is no way to have a reasonable discussion with them. When I think about how many stupid annoying organizations and crusades started with that kind of people. Always looking for someone to blame!!! Don’t you realize nobody insulted this guy? You started this. Pain and respect are overrated. Move on. Shut up. Bitch and pray at home, not here.
Reply@Adham: Thank you, that’s what I’ve always said. If this infuriates you, I’m sure this will push you over the edge. Read this other story I posted and read the comments: http://subwayblogger.com/2007/01/07/parents-of-kid-killed-by-train-while-doing-graffiti-on-tracks-plan-to-sue-mta/

Therefore, we vie.
Replyits not september 13th in the middle of the night and i was looking through youtube and i found the video of adham and i am truly heart broken, Adham will always be in my memory, and will be missed forever. i was blessed to know such a cool guy.
ReplyWow it has been one year and today my daughter, Tiffany & I are playing Falsetto all day long in his memory. There will be a memorial service for him tomorrow, Saturday February 20, 2010 at St. Paul’s/Andrews on 86th Street & West End Avenue @ 2 p.m.

ReplyOne more issue is really that video gaming has become one of the all-time greatest forms of fun for people spanning various ages. Kids engage in video games, plus adults do, too. The actual XBox 360 has become the favorite games systems for many who love to have a huge variety of games available to them, and also who like to experiment with live with people all over the world. Many thanks for sharing your opinions.
ReplyIn these days of austerity and also relative stress about running into debt, most people balk up against the idea of making use of a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise and also pay for any occasion, preferring, instead just to rely on this tried along with trusted means of making payment – raw cash. However, in case you have the cash available to make the purchase in whole, then, paradoxically, that’s the best time just to be able to use the card for several reasons.
ReplyI figured out more new things on this losing weight issue. 1 issue is a good nutrition is highly vital if dieting. A huge reduction in fast foods, sugary food, fried foods, sugary foods, pork, and white-colored flour products could possibly be necessary. Keeping wastes bloodsuckers, and harmful toxins may prevent targets for losing weight. While specified drugs temporarily solve the issue, the unpleasant side effects will not be worth it, plus they never supply more than a non permanent solution. It is a known fact that 95% of dietary fads fail. Thanks for sharing your thinking on this blog site.
ReplyThanks for your helpful post. Over time, I have come to understand that the symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by your build up associated fluid between the lining of your lung and the breasts cavity. The illness may start in the chest spot and get distributed to other limbs. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight reduction, severe breathing in trouble, nausea, difficulty eating, and inflammation of the neck and face areas. It ought to be noted that some people with the disease usually do not experience any kind of serious signs at all.
ReplyThanks for your post. One other thing is when you are promoting your property all on your own, one of the problems you need to be aware about upfront is just how to deal with property inspection reviews. As a FSBO home owner, the key concerning successfully shifting your property and also saving money upon real estate agent commissions is information. The more you are aware of, the easier your home sales effort will probably be. One area where by this is particularly vital is reports.
ReplyI have really learned some new things through your blog post. One other thing I have found is that in many instances, FSBO sellers will certainly reject anyone. Remember, they’d prefer not to ever use your companies. But if a person maintain a gradual, professional connection, offering help and keeping contact for around four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win an interview. From there, a listing follows. Cheers
ReplyGood post right here. One thing I would like to say is the fact that most professional domains consider the Bachelors Degree as the entry level requirement for an online course. Even though Associate Degrees are a great way to start out, completing your own Bachelors starts up many good opportunities to various occupations, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions give Online variations of their diplomas but generally for a greatly higher charge than the corporations that specialize in online diploma plans.
ReplyI have really noticed that credit restoration activity has to be conducted with techniques. If not, you will probably find yourself causing harm to your positioning. In order to be successful in fixing your credit rating you have to ascertain that from this second you pay any monthly expenses promptly prior to their appointed date. It really is significant for the reason that by certainly not accomplishing so, all other moves that you will choose to use to improve your credit rank will not be powerful. Thanks for revealing your tips.
ReplyThanks for your useful article. Other thing is that mesothelioma cancer is generally attributable to the inhalation of fibers from asbestos, which is a carcinogenic material. It’s commonly seen among staff in the construction industry who have long experience of asbestos. It can also be caused by living in asbestos insulated buildings for long periods of time, Family genes plays a huge role, and some consumers are more vulnerable to the risk as compared with others.
