The rush of wind pushing the bulkhead door was making them open since the latch was not enough for that extremely heavy door."Correct about the wind pressure, and the timing is about right. I don't know how many times I went through the 53rd Street Tube with my left foot jammed up against the door to keep it from opening. The real impetus to correct the problem, however, came after the signal maintainer and his helper were killed at Kings Highway (s/b) on the F. The motorman claimed that the storm door blew open and he was trying to close it, and therefore did not see the employees on the roadbed. System Safety mandated a fix after that incident. |
