Drunken Man Electrocuted to Death on NYC Subway (Video is Graphic) Dont watch if you dont want to see it!

I knew about it, the German guy knew about it, Hell everyone but you and one other person assumed there would be a power shutoff near the end of the platform.

Why do we think people should have acted, despite the fact some of you aren't aware of your safety features? Well let me explain... imagine some granny drives her Bandit off the subway platform, or gets pushed, whatever. Old lady with broken hip and a motorized cart are now on the tracks, and pose a significant safety hazard to themselves and any oncoming train.

Do you...

A.) Look for something to cut power to the tracks, or an intercom, or an employee.

or...

B.) Stand around scratching your nuts.


If you answered B, you are officially a Useless Fuck.

i think we already excused her inabilty, you should already be passed this point.

OOPS....I just read the LAST sentence!
UPDATE: MTA spokesperson Charles Seaton writes, "These switches are located in areas that are NOT accessible to subway customers. They are not on the station platform." And they're not accessible to the token booth clerk, either. Seaton declined to elaborate on their exact location, for obvious reasons.

B. I don't have nuts to scratch, but I would have been a useless fuck because:

My point is proven, none of you sheeple knew where this "switch" was until this thread, I didn't know where it was and I grew up riding the MTA in Boston and Manhattan.

everyone remember when this ac happens to fall on the tracks that they shouldnt go into the area they are not supposed to be in to flick the power cut off switch.

I would never wish that on anyone. You are an evil bastard. There IS such a thing as Karma...

Its funny all the comments people are making but what if this was your son? or a close family member? I always find it funny how people can watch a video of someone losing their life and make stupid comments like "the train was late" or "no sparks" or say "nothing disturbing in this video" I mean what a bunch of retards.

THIS is what a power shutoff switch looks like. These are the ones in Toronto, located just on the inside wall of the subway tunnel, within arm's reach of the public platform edge.

Also note, these are APART from the brightly lit ones for normal public use.

These are the kind all subway stations have, at the end of their platforms, because it's a goddamn safety feature and the track crews might need them.
