Posted by f179dj on Mon Apr 12 23:26:35 2010, in response to Fifty-Eight Joralemon Street?, posted by Kevin from Midwood on Mon Apr 12 22:20:27 2010. I give up. Anyone who's anyone in the TA knows about this fan plant. It's been there before 2001; and probably before I was born (don't ask, lol). Yes, fan plants often double as emergency exits, but we've been good neighbors there on Joralemon Street. And no, I did not read the links; once I saw what they were referring to, it was 'ho-hum.'Want some excitement. Have them investigate the emergency exit that comes out under the Brooklyn Esplanade, south of Fulton Street. Open that door and step out without looking, and you are history (or maybe a short story somewhere, well maybe an internet blurb). OK, I scanned the Huffington thing after typing the above. Officer McMillan (16 year veteran) says he rides the front of the train and scans the tracks with a FLASHLIGHT!! What, the headlights of the train are not good enough? His flashlight is brighter than the sealed beams? These are the same types of P/O's who during the York Street (F line, entrance to tube) fire herded passengers to the wrong end of the station. They may know where the under-river tunnel entrance is, but don't know the station layout. And, at the risk of abuse, why is the booth now covered with subway maps? To conceal the fact that it is not manned? To let the P/O sleep in piece? I mean, this has been going on since they were installed; no news here. |
