Posted by Wallyhorse on Mon Jan 26 22:23:39 2015, in response to Re: All Transit Closing at 11 Tonight, posted by Elkeeper on Mon Jan 26 22:14:40 2015. Fact was, there was a big lack of coverage leading up to that 2010 blizzard until late Christmas night because many stations that day only had 11:00 PM newscasts because of the holiday and stations did not want to have to make people come in until Christmas night (in fact, I specifically remember on NBC10 in Philly Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz coming in on his own and doing special webcasts noting the weather because there were no local newscasts there or elsewhere until 11:00 that night). This is something that has NOT happened since and specifically I believe is the case as a direct result of the blizzard of late 2010.The lack of available media to me did play a major factor in the 2010 fiasco. If it didn't, explain to me why in 2003 and 2006 (both storms at least equal to this one) why the MTA didn't do this type of a shutdown and everything went just fine with no major problems. Also explain to me why that was the case in 1983 (when we got 21" of snow) and 1996 (when NYC got a then-record snowfall or close to it) or even the snowstorm a couple of months after the 2010 fiasco in early 2011 when the MTA operated with minimal-to-no problems relatively speaking. That is what would likely be brought up in court if any firms sued to block the state from shutting down the subways during a snowstorm. |
