Where in my post did I suggest we close the station?What can NYCT do to prevent this from happening again? Should we have the gap fillers engaged manually? After all, he was hit 167 times. There are constant announcements asking passengers to stand clear. He admitted he was drinking, it was not stated in the article if he was legally drunk, if that was even checked. What level of responsibility did he have? MTA/ NYCT is self insured. |

(instead of them standing there watching and not knowing how to stop it)One other option might be to install the kind of chain link barriers around the extenders as was done at the original South Ferry station. Perhaps installing a light above the extender that would be red at all times (plus some kind of "Danger, Gap" type of sign), except when the extender was in its proper open position against a stopped train, when the light would be green. Would immediately turn back to red, as soon as the doors had closed. I wonder how common this kind of accident has been at 14th st. - extenders have been there for decades - if it were chronic it might have been already addressed/remedied. It sounds as though being drunk, even if not over the legal limit, could have had a lot to do with this accident. |

"Fell asleep on the train. Woke up in bloody Neasden."A line from the movie Quadrophenia where Chad (is that his name?) explains to his parents why he's late for dinner. They are not happy about it. |

Actually deaf and blind people seem to navigate the subway quite well."From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all" - no platform extenders on these routes to worry about. |

Where in my post did I suggest we close the station?I didn't say you suggested it. But others in TPTB may. What can NYCT do to prevent this from happening again? The only solution would be to build a new Union Square station. By today's standards, of course. |

Those would be references to Soho and Brighton in London, and the speaker in "Pinball Wizard" was not the "deaf, dumb and blind kid". |

Phuck the TA. They used to have platform conductors with radios there. All the money in conductors jobs they saved will be spent if they lose the appeals. |
