(F) Train In Near-Miss With Huge Drill Bit In Queens Tunnel |
|
|
Posted by JayZeeBMT on Thu Oct 30 19:11:21 2014 A packed midday (F) train was almost cut open by a huge drill bit being used on the East Side Access project, MTA officials said today. The tool, which was drilling from above ground, grazed the top and side of a passing (F) train near the 21 St-Queensbridge station. Although no one was injured, this was a VERY close shave...no pun intended. |

You guys really let me down. When I first heard about this incident, I was positive that someone would start the thread with the teaser: "F Train Gets Screwed." |

How fast would that coming into the tunnel?Separeatly, let's assume the drill bit is in direct line of the tracks. Would this then cause the train to derail / crash? |
