DailyMail: A Bronx man is lucky to be alive after being run over Saturday morning by a subway train. Ralph Mercado, 55, fell onto the northbound tracks just after 11.30am Saturday at Union Square just before an R train pulled into the station. He survived with barely a scratch even though the train rolled directly over him. Mr Mercado was able to roll into the trench between the tracks, which gave him just enough space to evade being crushed by the train. Mr Mercado was soon pulled to safety with only a bruised hand, according to NBC New York. He told officers he jumped down to help a woman who fell, according to the Post, but witnesses told the paper there was no one else on the tracks. The lucky-to-be-alive man was taken to Bellevue Hospital for a psychological evaluation. A total of 145 people have been struck by trains this year in New York. Of those, 52 have died.

Looney Tune alert. Hey pal, remember that non existent woman you jumped onto the tracks to save? Almost cost you your life. Now as always go buy a Mega Millions ticket cause you’re lucky to be alive.

Russian Shoots Guy In Face On Subway; Just Another Day In Russia

November 27, 2013subwaycreatures

DailyMail: A security camera has captured a suspected racist shooting on the Moscow metro as two men armed with handguns attacked a dark-skinned passenger. Two men sit on the underground train in the Russian capital when a fellow passenger travelling in the same carriage attracts their attention. One of the attackers nods to the other, whispers something, and then both draw guns in the vicious assault which was caught on footage obtained by Life News, a major Russian media outlet. The younger one uses a ‘traumatic hand gun’ to shoot into the abdomen of Khashim Latipov, 30, from Dagestan, a region in the Caucasus region of southern Russia. He kicks him and shoots again, putting the gun at the man’s head, as other passengers flee to the far end of the carriage. The two men then turn their backs on the victim but keep threatening their victim with guns until they flee the train at Nagornaya station. Faces of both attackers are caught by the security camera in the November 17 incident. Miraculously, Lapitov survived the attack but is seriously wounded. ‘The IDs of the shooters are not known yet, we are searching for them,’ a law enforcement source told Life News. ‘The victim was taken to the hospital, with one bullet in his jaw and serious damage to his face.’

Yea those passengers sure did look terrified. Couldn’t be more casual as if this happens twice a day. And what the hell is a ‘traumatic hand gun’ where you can shoot someone and they don’t die? I need me one of those.

DNAinfo Chicago: Police were called to the 1000 block of West Granville Avenue about 12:45 p.m. Saturday after they received reports of a woman who was “not fully clothed” yelling at people on the train, said Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti, a police spokeswoman. A 31-year-old woman was taken into custody by police at the Granville “L” Station, and no one was injured in the incident. Red Line trains were delayed as the woman was taken into custody, and were running normally by 1:15 p.m. The woman suffered from a mental illness and was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, Ursitti said.

Chicago bringing it hard today! Crazy weather, crazy people, crazy city. I want to see video of this bird–someone send it over!

UPDATE: Ask and you shall receive! You knew there had to be a video of this in 2013. Well…here it is.

The Sexual Assault Creeper In The NYC Subway Story Is Weird

November 13, 2013November 13, 2013subwaycreatures

Gothamist: The police have released a photograph of a man accused of a sexual assault in a midtown Manhattan subway station on Sunday, in hopes that the public can identify him. According to the NYPD, a 19-year-old man was riding a downtown D train from West 155th Street and 8th Avenue at 11:45 a.m. When he sat down, the suspect was “standing across from him, touching his groin area over his clothing.” The police said the suspect approached the victim and directed him to exit the train with him at Columbus Circle-59th Street. They boarded another train to the West 50th C/E station, where the suspect led the victim to the north end of the downtown platform and forced him to perform a criminal sex act. The suspect then stole the victim’s backpack and fled in an arriving downtown train. The victim also got on the train, retrieved his backpack, took a photograph of the suspect with his cellphone and then left the train. The suspect is described as a man in his 30s, about 6′, 190 pounds and wearing a grey jacket, beige pants and a black knit hat. Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

I’ve read this story 3 times now and does anyone else find it bizarre? So some guy is sitting on the train rubbing his dick and tells you to get off the train–so you do?? Never mentions anything about him having a weapon or being threatening but he walks you to another train where you get on with him and then proceed to follow him to the end of the platform for a handie/beej? THEN, he steals your backpack and gets onto another train where you follow him and not only take the backpack back, but you snap a picture of the guy as he falls asleep a couple minutes later with you standing next to him? I’m not saying this didn’t happen and obviously this guy needs to get caught, but there are a lot of holes in this story. I would love to hear the other guy’s version.

Russian Subway Accepts Squats As Payment For Riding

November 13, 2013subwaycreatures

You know what the sad part about this is? The line for the real MTA machine would still be 20 people deep because that’s the way Americans are. Fat, selfish, lazy assholes who in almost 2014, expect everything to get done for them without having to lift a finger. Plus it’s NYC so I’m sure the ticket booth would demand at least 50 squats just because. Good luck getting people like this guy to do 5 squats without their knees snapping.

Kanye Gives Kim Kardashian A 15-Carat Diamond Ring

October 22, 2013subwaycreatures

HollywoodLife.com: Third times a charm for Kim Kardashian! Although her engagement ring from Kris Humphries was auctioned off on Oct. 15, Kim already has a new sparkler on her left ring finger — and it’s a stunning engagement ring from boyfriend Kanye West! Kanye rented out San Francisco’s AT&T Park and popped the question on Kim’s birthday, Oct. 21, in front of the couple’s closest family and friends — and he gave her a gigantic flawless diamond to celebrate the special occasion! According to E!, Kanye selected a sparkler by Lorraine Schwartz for the occasion — and it’s some serious bling! Kanye got down on one knee and proposed to Kim with a 15-carat diamond, emerald-cut ring by the celebrity jeweler. Made up of a flawless diamond, the ring is just blinding – and Kim looks like she couldn’t be happier. According to 78 Universal Jewelers in NYC: “This ring is definitely worth more than the ring Kris Humphires gave her.” Inanelli Diamonds said it also cost millions of dollars! “The retail price of this ring has to be a couple of million, around six or seven to be exact. Location is key in purchasing a ring of this caliber. If someone came into a NYC jewelry store to purchase a ring of this caliber they would shell out around $3,000,000 but in Beverly Hills, this ring is at least $6,000,000 — and a man of Kanye’s status can shell out this amount easily.”

How do the lyrics go? If you ain’t no punk, holla “We want prenup!” “We want prenup!” It’s something that you need to have, cause when she leave your ass she gonna leave with half. Let’s just see how this one plays out…

Side note: There’s no one more deserving of a 15-carat ring than Kim Kardashian. And if you believe that I have a 15-carat ring to sell you.

Next Up For NYC Subway, One Giant Train Car With More Doors?

October 21, 2013subwaycreatures

NYTimes: For decades, the New York City subway car has been a predictable space. Some have seats; some have benches. Graspable pole options vary only slightly. Mariachi bands play, and self-appointed preachers preach. And if there is no seat, no room, no end to a performance, there is often no escape for a rider — at least until the next stop. That may yet change. Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials are envisioning a subway car of the future that offers New Yorkers an out, ending the era of the captive car population. This month, in a 142-page document outlining needs for the next 20 years, the authority noted the benefits of articulated trains — similar to accordion-style buses — that have no doors between cars, allowing unrestricted flow throughout the length of the subway. The inclusion of articulated train cars in the report, a mild surprise to some transit advocates, does not guarantee that the cars will reach the rails anytime soon, or even at all; it was not clear how the cost of the articulated cars compares with that of nonarticulated cars. But for the first time in the subway system’s modern history, the authority appears poised to seriously consider a model adopted in cities like Berlin, Paris and Toronto.

Imagine this? No more smushing into trains like the Chinese or standing with an armpit in your face in the morning rush. Sounds great in a perfect world but it’ll never happen. It would probably mean subway cards costing $10 per swipe. How about we get the 2nd Ave line up and running first (that no one will use since it will only run about 40 city blocks for the first few years). Baby steps MTA, baby steps. You’re still fixing the subway from Sandy and you’re talking about accordion trains of the future. Love the idea but just sounds like a wet dream.
