What do you mean, "the arsonist didn't know this." Everyone knows this except for the FDNY videotographer. He was surprised that there was a second alarm and expressed that on the recording. Perhaps jayzero should reconstruct him. |

One thing that makes me very angry about this guy losing his life is in the fire department videos I only saw 2 or 3 street gratings venting smoke and I know a lot of queens boulevard had theirs sealed up to prevent flooding and keep residents quiet. Because he went into cardiac arrest 3 car lengths North of the train trying to escape that smoke presumes logic There was nowhere for that smoke and heat to go |

If the fires include one at 116th Street (Broadway or Lenox, it's unclear which is meant), that would rule out them being set by this train's undercarriage. Some (later?) stories do mention the 166th St. fire, some don't. |

Yes. At some point they comment that they have yet to speak to anyone from Transit.There is a noticeable lack of Transit presence. The time of day and probability TSS and superintendent first went to 86 and 96 fires and were dealing with that not realizing severity of on board fire. |

NYCT and others will probably reevaluate the sealed vents. Queens Blvd has several areas that are on a grade causing streams of water to gush into the grating, especially the express tracks. |

The shape of the tunnel especially in that area could change the air flows. There is a suction in that stretch I can't explain but the T/O are familiar with it.When two trains pass each other there(between 96 and 110) you feel a suction that has a vacuum effect on the front storm door and side doors. It definitely would affect smoke flows when this fire happened. |

There is a suction in that stretchThat would indicate a lack of vents. Note that the tracks run under the west edge of a Central Park lake, and then curve to run under a hill which is 100 feet higher than the topography at 110th Street, so a lack of vents is not surprising. I only questioned whether the lack of vents was due to flooding issues. |

Going south, first you're under a lake, then you're under a 100 foot high hill. And you'd have the huge permitting issues of doing construction work in Central Park. |

How will they get that train out of there? It might have to be cut up on site.If it was severe collision damage and unable to be towed, then a cut up on site would take place. Bill Newkirk |

The more of those vents that are sealed to remedy the next 100 year storm will seal the fate on the next 100 year train fire. THE IND designed their system to incorporate emergency exits, now reversible river tube fans and plenty of vents. Apparently there is now lack of plenty |

I hadn’t heard that the vents were actually sealed, but that the ones along the Qns Blvd median were raised several inches to mitigate the possibility of flooding even though it might not prevent it entirely. |

The vacuum effect that you are referring to exists between 145 St and Dyckman on the Bway Line as well as between 149/G/Conc and 149/3. It also existed to a lesser degree in the entire original IRT subway. Under the dual contracts the problem was addressed to some degree by constructing curtain walls between opposing directions of traffic and in the case of the 4 Av and Center St BMT subways, even between each track. According to a PSC report I have from circa 1915, the air in the “first subway” was stirred up but never completely removed with the passage of the trains resulting in excessive heat in the tunnels. By separating the opposing directions, it was felt that the trains going in their respective directions would cause a sort of piston effect forcing old air out ahead of the trains and allowing fresh air to enter behind them, something not possible with trains of both directions in a completely open underground space. |
