MTA should advertise what people are supposed to do when someone falls on the tracks. All they have is that stupid poster about if you drop your wallet which should be common sense to everyone. It's a lot different if someone falls. Had I known I could just alert the station manager I would not have jumped down there last month.
Also, I will say when you are down there it is not as easy as it looks to get back up. It is deeper than it looks and the rails make an uneven surface which makes it easy to stumble.
Some of those rats are released from labs and just thrown into there.. really, if you look closely some of them have stitches, and tags around their hands.
Maybe that would explain why some of them are as big as cats! who knows what they've been injected/tested with in some of those labs.
I agree material things can be replaced, but you only have one life to live, poor guy.
One news report says a neighbor of the guy who died (Jose) said that just 1 or 2 weeks before they were talking about whether they would jump on the tracks if something happens, and Jose said he would not jump.
I must say, it's fascinating to go through page after page of debate on this subject. This isn't a topic for debate. You're not supposed to go down on the tracks--what's so hard to understand?
Woman survives NYC subway fall (http://wcbstv.com/local/subway.miracle.eighth.2.1712978.html - broken link)
That has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of jumping on the tracks. The woman obviously didn't go down there intentionally!
At the same time, WCBS reported the story as if it was some kind of miracle. It's happened before. What happened was this: the woman was unbelievably lucky. She landed in just such a position so that the train didn't touch her. That's uncommon, but not unheard of.
