I was a teenager at this time remember all of this. Passengers always helped no one stood around videoing back then.
No one had a cell phone…
@@DWilliam1 exactly cell phones nowadays could be a good and a bad thing. It depends on how people use them. Me i see an emergency I dail for help and then you have people who see something happening and stand there filming 🙄
I WAS 5 YEARS OLD LIVING IN BROWNSVILLE BACK THEN!!
Videotape with what?
Probably because they didn’t have handheld cameras…
This was in 1989 and 33 years later the city's repeating it.
It was much worse back then. People have no idea. NYC had about 5 times the amount of murders than we do today.
Keep voting Blue and you will see groundhog day every single day
they voted for DINKINS over GIULIANI.
@@DonGivani red blue it’s happening in both states. Them fossils need to go all of them roaches.
@@SIKE01 GIULIANI blue didn't make matter better either just worse if you were a person of color in NYC during the 90's, so stop defending that trump wannabe deutch bag!
I love old reports like this
Well atleast in 1989 if u committed a crime u stayed in jail
History has a funny way of repeating itself
Well ::…..we knew this was coming, completely intentional
Yup! You took the words right out of my mouth
same people back then causing problems are the same people today causing the same problem. THe big ass elephant in the room everyone is afraid to call out for fear of being labeled racist
@@SkrillexIloveyou1232 At no time I mentioned any specific race. You in your feelings of insecurity I see 👀
Yes and someone told me it doesn’t repeat itself unless you want it to.
I was 19 years old living in New Jersey. I remember this.
Is America all like that? In terms of crime
@@JC-fd8ho No
@@JC-fd8ho Mainly, big cities, NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, Memphis, Rochester, New Orleans, Oakland, Tulsa, Portland.
In 1989, I was working in my 1st full time job at Mount Sinai on 96th street. Thanks for the memories. Wish the 2nd Ave line was finished then. 😅
So eerie.. it's like watching today's news, right now. The city has backslide to it's worst of times, and this horrible economy and job situation will only worsen it. Add to that, people no longer help each other, but instead encourage violence solely for their entertainment. I'm glad I moved out of Queens and got a job in Long Island. I commuted from queens into manhattan, through ghetto brooklyn, for 10+ years for college and work and have seen almost all of it. After COVID and the release of criminals from Riker's island onto the subway and bail reform, things noticeably got worse.
And at the same train stop that’s always the most Trouble 125 street 456 line !
Such a weak man you are. Just reading your words says it all.
Can we all say what the common factor between now and then is?
Well, in NY if you try and help someone and you injure the perpetrator, you will go to jail, you will be arrested and run through the system. NY needs to do away with their “duty to flee” policy. NY needs self defense laws that don’t favor criminals. Life long moderate dem, but I am done with the soft on crime liberal politicians that are more concerned about teaching children about sex and homosexuality, than keeping our city safe. Voting Lee Zeldin.
Well you know queen's is apart of long Island so technically you didn't leave lol
Nothing has changed I’m 33 I was born in 89 😂😂
Nothing has changed on the 125th street station in East Harlem. There’s always some one of shady activity going on there.
I wonder why...
They have meth clinics and shelters around there that’s why
Nasty and disgusting
Of course it is. Just look at the people it houses. You see black you know it’s time to run the opposite way.
From the video the station looked better back in 89 lol
And same shit still going on Today but even worse!!!!! Smh!
Wow yeah i heard some serious stories from back in the day
please hurry up now and start trade with Timothy Gregg and get 10% bonus free
how can i get started ?

Definitely feels like the 80s all over again and I was born in 88 😫
I took this exact train 5 days a week for years during this time. For the most part it was still safer than it is today. Bernie goetz is a hero
Is there another Bernie around, willing to put everything on the line for the sake of the safety of others? I don't think so...$5 and the brief humiliation of being threatened with a screwdriver are in the minds of most nowadays New Yorkers a small price to pay for a piece of mind.
This is gross
History repeats itself
I remember working security in the late 80s and I seen a lot of crazy stuff going on between the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens
This video reminded me of the TMNT movie from 1990. The reporters voice and interviews were similar to the intro from the movie
33 years later and nothing has changed 🤦🏾♂️
Alot has changed. The crime in the 80s was much more rampant. Did you not read they had over 16K felonies a year... Its less than half that now
@@nathanbradshaw5517 exactly people really forget about the late 80s and early 90s it was way worse than today. Most homicide tolls were in the hundreds or even thousands in major cities across America add the crack epidemic to that also and conditions were definitely worse back then
MORE VINTAGE NEWS, PLEASE🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is pretty the same crap that going on now and least back then new Yorkers had more heart!!!!!
A huge difference that can be seen. Everyone is quick to record you now instead of helping you. Sad reality
@@DjBolt11 most of them are illegal immigrants
They're called snitches. Anyone who records you on their phone without your consent.
Made a slight mistake we're going right back to the days of the Wild Wild West when you have to be strapped in order to protect yourself
Being strapped is the best move ever. If NYC legalizes this expect crimes to drop big time. Criminals will think twice before acting stupid. There r reasons why there were lots of acts of crimes being stopped by armed citizens on the scenes in red states
@@user-yv7dt5je1l we should be smarter than that. This is a criminal mind set. I can, therefore I will.
30 years later with all the technology we have today this should never happen
The 6 train looks the same at least from the outside as it looked back then.
The 6 trains are old
It had r142as for a good 15 years until they were then transferred by the 7.
They're using the same subways cars, difference is then they were only about 5 years old
We need Batman 😂😂
Or Godzilla. Even King Kong.
We also had the Guardian Angels and the Traditional Muslims who got off and on the different cars at various stops, as well as the Transit Cops. It made a big difference.
Traditional Muslims who protected people on the train. Never heard about that.
@@MohammadHassan-ud8iq Yep. Black Traditional Muslims. Headquarters was on Bushwick Ave. in Brooklyn. If you are a Native New Yorker who rode the trains frequently, especially in Brooklyn, you would remember.
If you don't have a any criminal charges against you what's the stop you from possessing your own firearm it's getting to that point we're going right back to
It's still sort of a social taboo mainly pushed by the folks that benefit greatly from controlled chaos who's wining and dining here watching it all unfold but really got vacation homes elsewhere.
More dysfunction means more funding for their programs, means more siphoning monies to the right pockets until it makes it war full circle back to the top.
Ed Koch was Mayor and Mario Cuomo was Governor at that time- both DEMOCRATS. Let that sink in….
Ahh yes, a crime report in NYC during the "Fear City era". I bet subway crime like this was happening every 45 mins
NYC had over 2k homicides in 1989 😳
1989 was better than 2022 was.
Lay off the crack
Wrong. Sloppy ugly hair, boxy fashion, etc.
1920s to 1940s AMERICA NYC will always be SUPERIOR than those eras you mentioned
@@marcchevalier3750 Lay off the crack! 80's were the best you fucking coocoo clock!
Have you seen the crime difference of 1989 and 2022????
No
Oh wow! I remember Reg Wells! 💛
43 years later..... same sh*t
PS what happened to the guardian angels I guess you have to ask the X- mayor of New York Bloomberg that question
They left around this time that when those BK Kids start running around on the Trains
Well in 2022 it looks like we went back to the 1980's. Welcome back! It's a horror story.
And the beat goes on...
The more things change, the more they stay the same 1989>2022
Wow we have not come far from 1989 …. Rolls eyes
Same trains and all
Some things never change
Reg Wells was such a strange looking dude, but I remember as I kid I used to watch channel 9 just to see this weirdness. Wonder if he is still with us?
Was this last night's news???
Ow wait, it's from 1989!
NYC at it's Best.
They are interviewing ACTUAL new yorkers. Not the hipsters and strictly interviewing in manhattan people all the time.
We need real subway vigilante to protect the riders from criminals.
I remember that. I used to take the train to work. Switched to the express bus. Then switched to driving instead.
Same perps basically too...
I miss the 80's and 90's
Crime was much worse back then.
Club scene was lit! I was at the Palladium, Limelite, Nelly's, Study 54. You name it! I was there!!
@@johnlewis3891 it’s not any better today
@@albihysenaj5997 It's much better today. In the 80s, there wasn't a single year in which the city had less than 1,200 murders. By contrast the city had 386 murders.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City
hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak mean create hard times.
current we are in early part of the 4th stage. I believe we will be in hard times in a few years
Reg wells hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We need more Bernard Getts
The Grunge of the 90s is back 🤣😂
Just like 2022!
Bring Back STOP AND FRISK!!!!
FASTTTT
Over 30 years later and the same things are happenimg smh😢
I've been saying it for years we are heading back to the 80s,sure the numbers aren't as bad but just give it some time,things move in cycles,more cops on the stations means less cops in the streets,its a loose loose ,be safe everyone
40 years later, the radios still don't work. Units going 75-T under without coverage. Every train stinks and has some nut job on it. Bye NYC. I know you'll go down and then come back up but I won't be alive for it.
Anybody else google the names of those interviewed to see what they’re up to now?
The guy Reg Wells aka Raggie Harris has already passed away in 2000.

Ms Gay Yee is a Cutie 🥰😊 Pie 🥧🥧
She not that cute
@@Frankieefootballmundial You must be Blind as Hell then San Juan Puerto.
She is one fine piece of...tail
That was in the '80s. If she's still alive she's old as s*** and you thirsty guys would still bang her.
I was 18 living in the Bronx worked in Manhattan and went to city college in Manhattan. I had friends and family in Brooklyn Manhattan and queens I’ve never been afraid or had an issue riding the subways back then. I’ve never witnessed a crime. I knew there were crime I feel like the news was a little over exaggerating things. Because I would travel on the train all different times of the day and night. Back then I could sit in a park at night and didn’t have to worry about any gun fire I could sit on the steps of my building at night or day and no one would bother you. For me times was better back then. You didn’t have a whole lot of mentally I’ll walking the streets so freely.
Just because you were fortunate to not experience a traumatic experience does not mean the dysfunction didn’t exist. Now as you say it is more visible cause liberal democrats don’t want dangerous mentally ill people in institutions, they don’t want criminals in prison. When Lee Zeldin pointed out that Hochul’s plan on crime didn’t mention incarceration, she responded in part “I don’t know why thats so important to you” a complete disregard of NewYorkers safety.
@@devious100dd I lived through the 80s and remember how bad it was. It is starting to get that way again. But it was bad for many, many years before it was bad enough that people demanded change from their political leaders and held them accountable by voting them out. We’ll see what happens this election but I’m afraid we may not be there yet. It will get worse and worse before it gets better. I hope I’m wrong.
Corporations need to pressure the city to do more or they’re going to loose employees.
I see the subway crime pattern all the way from the 1980s to the 1990s and far worse now in the 2020s
Wow same same
Oh my goodness I remember all these reported when I was a kid damn I am this all in 2024 because I’m 47 now damn
Going through the same thing now
We must take action now, or more of us will be dead or locked up.
Damn the station on 125th lex looked better back in 89 than it does now
That’s 33 years of neglect
Yup smh
So nothing new under the sun as it is written. People act like what's going in NY is worst then we get a reminder of how it really was.
I had to look up last years stats on felonies. 2023 had 554, 2022- 539. When you think about our population being 1.5 MM more people, it changes my perception on how “bad” it really is.
0:10 I love that haircut from 80-90
More than 30 years later. No improvement
10/2022
Just trying to keep your eyes open.👁️🙏👁️. all the time
God bls u all.🙏.
I think this was from April 1989.
*Nothing has changed*
Damn I remember them red trains
A mans alias when he goes to gay bars “gay yee”
The blacks been a menace
Idk why . But for some reason the past 3 years I keep seeing the number 66 every where even in this video ..
NYC being NYC.
Yo the classic looks un real 1989
"Gay Yee" sounds like a word that's used when someone wants to emphasize how gay they are "I'm not gay, I am Gaaaay Yeeeeee!"
Same as today 2022,,,,,,,,
I remember this Era well. It seems worse now.
.. please don't blame me , i was just born .. ☺️
How was the subway crime in the 90s ? 🤔 I'm very curious. Did it get any better compared to the 80s ?
Crime decreased in the 90s, above and below ground.
Yea it did .. the 90s is a when nyc was a republican city
@@johnlewis3891 Once them Queens dudes murked that witness protection cop that was the begining to the clean up and Guliani came three years later
Rudy Guiliani and Mike Bloomberg style, back to back.
No cell phones social media
Damn I was born this year. Lol.
The online video editor said "f#ck it, I'm going home early tonight". Just kidding, these retro videos are cool
Might as well inflation lol
1982 to 1989 that is first wave of the crack cocaine epidemic.
We pay 2.75 to almost die by someone who jumps the turnstile 🤷🏻♂️
Same people committing the crimes.. it’s time to evolve
Can you guys post 30 minute Ch 9 newscasts with Tom Dunn before 1981 ASAP
History repeat again
Congrats to everyone who is early And who found this comment 👏 ❤
All time high subway crime that sounds familiar.
*The 80's*
And all the people complaining about crime on the subway. 16,000 felonies is a lot more than what we have in 2022. Lmao
Damn and now 2022 its the same if not worst.
It kinda looks like today with a vhs filter
nothing has change. MTA have this problem for decades and what did they do? Nothing. it's all blah blah blah.
