Gothamist Twitter on 1/29/24:
"Emergency exit gates at three subway stations will soon take 15 seconds to open, MTA officials announced Monday, as part of an effort to crack down on the "super highway of fare evasion.""
Twitter user notchrisvolpe on 1/29/24:
"If you were in that Brooklyn subway station when the NYPD failed to stop a terrorist attack and then let the mass shooter get away - just know the @MTA wants you to be stuck for 15 seconds when the next emergency happens."
Twitter user notchrisvolpe on 3/19/24:
"Welp, it happened." Followed by link to article in Gothamist by Giulia Heyward and Ramsey Khalifeh on 3/17/24 with title "Fleeing riders forced to exit single file at nearby Brooklyn station after subway shooting, riders say" and accompanied by a photo of an MTA subway exit gate.

Manspreading was a problem in the 1940s, too, apparently. From the New York Transit Museum.

This is Amazing! Andrew Wonder's Underground NY Expeditions: UNDERCITY on Vimeo
via vimeo.com
Andrew Wonder:
"This is a film I made after some adventures underground with Steve Duncan (undercity.org) last summer. We also have a teaser video which you can watch on my vimeo page (vimeo.com/5752275).
For more information about the video and our other adventures please contact Andrew Wonder (Director/Cinematographer) at [email protected].
Steve and I just completed another underground expedition with Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erling_Kagge). It was featured in a three page article on the front page of the NY Times metro section and was written by Alan Feuer (nytimes.com/2011/01/02/nyregion/02underground.html).
We were also covered by NPR's Jacki Lyden whose report will be aired on 1/2/11 and posted on NPR's site (npr.org/2011/01/02/132482428/into-the-tunnels-exploring-the-underside-of-nyc)."
NYC in Black and White
I took my daughter Anessa (sitting in the middle of the group on the subway) to New York for her 16th birthday last year. She was terrified to go on the subway, which is why I forced her, and also why I love that picture so much. Although I barely scratched the surface, and despite it being an overwhelming experience at times, I truly <3 NY.

Dang it... there it is. Career advice from The Wombats. I need to recharge my batteries in NY again.
