The "terror thing" was merely a reaction to some of the hysteria of others. However, with all the plastic components in subway cars these days, there is an enhanced risk should a car go up in flames. And thus ventilation is one thing you do NOT cut back on when money is tight. Back in the 70's and 80's, there were some pretty serious "smoke conditions" which is why they did a lot of work on the ventilation systems in the years after when they did get their hands on some cash.Yes, the "terror" thing was a bit over the top, unfortunately that seems to be the only pushbutton that works ... "in these times." :( |
