People need to get a damn clue and be more aware of their surroundings when taking the train! First of all put away your headphones and you phones until you get on the train. Even then keep it low and be very aware of your surroundings. Times have changed. You need to be hyper aware of your surroundings. Don't stay close to the edge, don't listen to your headphones, put away your phone and arm yourself. I see dummies all the time on the platform oblivious of their surroundings and I think to myself, some bum can easily push this dope onto the tracks and it's lights out for them.

I was watching people just an hour ago and thats exactly what they were doing.
Anyone living in NYC should have some sense of seeing somone looking for a victim. It may not prevent anything but theres a big difference in spotting somone approaching from a few yards vs inches from your personal space. Self defense is not about winning a fight, but getting away alive and uninjured if possible.
Its a smart idea on a narrow elevated platform like that. Its sad something like this has to be considered. Its worth mentioning that steel cable lock doubles as a weapon also. Remimds me of the old school padlock tied to a bandana or in a sock to wallop people with.
