Amazing how the media points out "human error" but leave out the part where the derailment happened because of the train colliding with a disabled/vandalized train
A similar accident occured in May 1970. An out of service train collided with an in setvice train as they crossed over a switch. That was near Roosevelt Ave on the E/F line.
I remember that aftermath. That collision included an R16 train and an R40M (4503), south of 74 Street, Roosevelt in Jackson Heights. 2 passengers in the R16 car (6304) were killed. I regret more that the 2 passengers were killed more than the R16, 6304, was destroyed.
@@Ghostthebeatmaker- It would be "they're" not "there." I know you know they were talking about the Brooklyn Nets, too, as nobody is goofy enough to think the baseball season has already started and we're not even in the middle of January. SMH
As a former motorman with the NYC Transit, I have witnessed the rushed attempts by management to move disabled equipment in an effort to maintain service levels. Guaranteed that crew was instructed to move that train closer to 96st street in order to move trains behind it into stations. The #1 line has an extremely close headway, and they try to maintain it at all cost, this time to the detriment of passengers and crews.
dont you got kill bar deadman switches if you run a red light? why did the signals even allow both those trains moving that close? I mean isnt like you get out of your cab and flip track crosses and stuff all thats automated isnt it? why tbh doesnt make sense.
This was 100% on management!! All they care about is moving the trains on schedule no matter at what cost. That out of service train was being driven not from the front car but another one behind it so the operator didn’t have a clear view of what’s in front of them. They were being directed by management on radio. These upper management want their employees to break rules and regulations so their trains are on schedule, just to tell you that they tell their train operators and conductors to use the bathroom while the train is moving inside the tunnels instead of taking a proper comfort just to keep the trains moving.
@@TRUMPmyOSHI You're saying you don't understand as in how can they have the conscience, or you don't understand as in how does it work?

As someone who travels on the London Underground - It seems the Operator is asking for the Regulator to put safety requirements into law. This suggests that funding for safety is not forthcoming unless it is legally required. Thankfully, no one was badly hurt or killed in this incident, but it could be far worst.

This accident happened because they were taking a train out of service that was badly vandalized. That's who fault it is the people that vandalism the train if not this would of never happened.
So we just gonna ignore the guy who pulled the emergency brake in the first place. Y’all quick to blame the MTA like the 123 trains isnt one of the busiest rail corridors IN THE WORLD. Pulling the E brake isn’t necessarily a common occurrence….
For the first time in decades, I've had to use the NYC subways, and I'm fine with the level of service. Some people are going to complain. It's the nature of the beast, but considering the massive size of the system, I think they're doing a good job. What I like best is the monitors that tell you how many minutes before your train will arrive. The frequency of trains is excellent.
Indeed. Even though they are nowhere near the best nor cleanest in the world, NYC subways are still among the most efficient and interconnected in the world! Only gets bad past midnight up until 4 a.m. from personal experience when work trains cause massive delays.
They should learn from Japanese services. Tokyo and it’s suburbs has not only one transit monopoly but train lines run by different companies. All of these in total are like triple NYC network and can literally run circles around.
the broke down train was being driven from the third car and didnt releaze it passed a red signal and crossed into a on coming train .... problay the repair crew was being rushed to get the broke down train out way to the system didnt fall behind schuele
They should have had a safety conductor in the first car with a radio to tell the driving conductor the coast is clear. Is that too much safety to ask? I still say, do NOT use drugs in your job and make good decisions. Stop tripping.

You do know those emergency brakes can be pulled by passengers, right? It's a cord dangling by the corner of each train car of these old 1 trains. Looks like a uvula😅
I work on 110th and broadway two stops from there and I’m lucky I was almost in that train after work. And I pray for the injured people to recover and the MTA drivers need to be charged and if you see A red signal obviously stop the train. And I now walk from 137 city college to 110th and after work I walk to 137st and take the 1 train straight uptown back home
How do you possibly end up with such a childish error with two trains running side to side at each other? When a track switch is open - the signal is green, other signal is red! When track switch is closed- the signal light is RED! This means A) one of the operators ignored the red light, or B) the track switches and lights are not depended of each other, where dispatcher has screwed up. In modern rail system you gotta be a pure genious to end up with such a crash.
So much money is squandered in the MTA, the whole agency needs a top to bottom overhaul and audit. New Yorkers are tired of terrible service and filthy trains while people at the top along with their contractor friends line their own pockets with taxpayer funds.
That is true but since the lite train had it's first 5 cars sectionalized of power and Brakes,no matter what trip device got hit on those 5 cars won't activate the brakes.
"cutting the brakes"? What criminal nonsense is that? NEVER on a train on an in service active track where another train has operating right of way! Some heads need to roll here...!!
Each call weighs 10000 lb takes 10,000 amps. Add the weight coincide with the speed. Red light. And the t arm activate all the braking systems in each car it's time to redesign the emergency braking system the conductor will see example when emergency brake is pulled the conductor will see what car is pulled in and acetate right and then stops the train. If train passes r red light light all braking systems will stop . The train.
this could've been easily avoided if that train that was switching tracks was just rerouted due to a problem and with proper communication between management and train crew this is easily avoidable. this accident is just pure negligence on communiction on management and signaller sides.

Remove MTA as operator …. Retrain all personnel fired all chairman and CEO and hired a good engineer from europe and japan as one of the best operators and innovators in rail system. And they are always on time no delays no late. This kind of management puts down newyork city to the map puts down the american innovation.
Human failure happens when rank and file workers do not fight to keep their workday within natural limits. Keep the bosses out of your workday. Bosses are relentlessly quantifying work at the expense of the quality of work and the Public is endangered. Its all about the numbers to them. But workers take it lying down is a problem. Poor leadership, ignorance or cowardice, I am not sure which is responsible. I do know doing nothing is the most undesirable outcome for workers, not fighting back is your death knell. Overwork rather than real, quality work, will kill you sooner than you need to die! On the other hand, a normal workday and quality work resulting from that workday will increase longevity and you will live to see how your future turns out.
In the years it's been open. They went from an elevated to a subway. They need to rip out the old.(track,signal,station,lighting,walls, signage,machinery, sewage, electrical) and in with a clean strait, quiet, well lit, and easy to use all underground bus network. A network that would run underground and use only bus type trams with rubber wheels like Montreal. That would be a fresh idea. New Yorkers would kick for this and the tracks would double as citybus path as well as train.
Putting entire MTA under a microscope IS LONG OVERDUE. Do you know that some drivers of MTA buses are aggravated abusers of customers? I saw bus running away from the stop with still open doors just to deny a customer to get on it. There is a certain driver where I live who is always starting his route randomly between 5 to 10 minutes early from his scheduled departing time. It prevents those customers who live at the beginning of the route from catching his bus just because he is a complete sociopath who finds his joy seemingly only if he makes customers suffer. He does that for at least last 10 years, probably just waiting on his retirement to get his full pension with benefits from his union. I know those people aren't only in MTA, there are same kind of people probably in every field. It's scary that people who work in service and suppose to put the interests of customers as their priority are allowed instead to regularly put people lives at risk just due to their whimsical arbitrary intention to harm another human being.
Your country doesn’t deserve to have nice things cuz people are slobs and uncivilized. European and Asian countries are way ahead of the U.S. when it comes to modern transportations. Tokyo subway is the best in the world when it comes efficiency, cleanliness and politeness. Excellent for a city of more than 14 million people with 8 million ridership each day.
No cameras on some equipment? Interesting. Here in Chicago, even our 2600-series cars(1981-1987) and 3200-series cars(1991-1993) were equipped with forward and inward facing cameras as of about 10 yrs ago
It seems to me the main fault is the unruly passenger who pulled the emergency brake without proper cause. Why not find that person and give a suitable consequence? Was it a kid? Someone impaired by drugs or alcohol? Don’t blame the MTA for someone being a jerk. The MTA perhaps didn’t handle the situation properly. If that’s the case, find out what went wrong and fix it. If someone is blameworthy, give a just consequence. The passenger might be banned from subway use for a time, or permitted only in a certain seat for work/school. MTA employees at fault could receive anything from demotion, docked pay, or retraining. Perhaps a system wide protocol needs to be implemented. Injured passengers who need it should be reimbursed for medical expenses and earnings from missed work. All should be thankful nothing worse came of the incident.
It seems to me the mta blaming someone about pulling emergency brake, the how a system works they don’t want to take accountability’s seems t like they mess up to me
What’s not typical is a city the size of NYC have such a deplorable subway system 🤷♂️. And in Chicago the union said the driver that caused a crash wasn’t experienced with 5 years on the job!

Someone impaired by drugs or alcohol? Don’t blame the MTA for someone being a jerk. The MTA perhaps didn’t handle the situation properly. If that’s the case, find out what went wrong and fix it. If someone is blameworthy, give a just consequence.
The passenger might be banned from subway use for a time, or permitted only in a certain seat for work/school. MTA employees at fault could receive anything from demotion, docked pay, or retraining. Perhaps a system wide protocol needs to be implemented. Injured passengers who need it should be reimbursed for medical expenses and earnings from missed work. All should be thankful nothing worse came of the incident.
It seems to me the mta blaming someone about pulling emergency brake, the how a system works they don’t want to take accountability’s seems t like they mess up to me
It's not about that. It's about moving a disabled train that doesn't have brakes in the lead car without following proper procedures.
A trainwreck in MANY ways...
JOE is My FRIEND OK
Working as a train driver is hard work, don't forget that, and generally working in the MTA too, any job.
Train Operator not driver
Hopefully subway service will be restored
by this afternoon.
YET THEY WANNA CHARGE COMGESTING PRICE TO PAY FOR ERRORS LIKE THIS?
Professor Chaos & General Disarray strike again in NYC 😅😂😂😅
What’s not typical is a city the size of NYC have such a deplorable subway system 🤷♂️. And in Chicago the union said the driver that caused a crash wasn’t experienced with 5 years on the job!
what a shocker....=/
