Followed by having their employment terminated. Secondly, all these supposed pranksters should be classed as terrorists and also face the same criminal actions as this supervisor.

The collision proves management at the MTA had spent very little time and effort improving and reinvesting back into the system safety systems and for a long time, had gotten away with it until this collision called attention to this deficiency in management. Same thing is going on at Boeing. The management there care about the quantity of planes and the workers at Boeing are pushed to get as many planes out the door. The quality of the planes at Boeing and the quality of safety procedures at the MTA, in a word, suck because sales orders come first, public safety comes second.

That is completely false. The MTA has spent the past 20 years upgrading and replacing the signal systems. It just it takes a lot of time, effort and money; and on top of that, modern trains. Currently, the E,F,L,R and 7 all use a different system known as “Communications Based Train Control”, or “CBTC”, which, additionally, allows the L and 7 to operate automatically. This system will soon come online on the A and C as well. The installation process on this system takes time. Additionally, as a side note, this type of incident has only happened once before, and that was 54 years ago.

Are security cameras installed inside the subway cars? I know in recent years on the LIRR, cameras were installed. Catching people on security cameras in the act could be a preventative. In a situation like this, where the “prank” leads to a collision, charges need to be added for every person injured. It’s not just a simple prank that results in the train stopping momentarily and then starting up again. That “prank” that day is what started the chain of events that lead to this. A slap on the wrist here isn’t good enough.

When I worked on the London Underground as a train operator, we had a procedure for a failed train that had to operated other than the front cab. You had an assisting driver keeping watch on the track as train was driven from the rear and came to a complete understanding that IF at any time communication was paused for more than 2 seconds the train was immediately stopped as you were the eyes for the rear operator. You had to keep talking, even if it was about crap! The observing operator was also given a way of stopping the train as well. This brake was tested before the move was commenced. If this failed then that train doesn't go anywhere until another way was found i:e another train to push it out. Think definitely service over safety. Just glad no one lost their lives!

Running a train with all the brakes isolated on the leading units is sheer madness. This should have been driven in the other direction from the other end, or towed from the front by another vehicle.

Don't each train car have emergency breakers why didn't use that as alternative to radio/walkie signal?

That’s right your safety comes first fuck the MTA

Wow This unreal may god be with you ma brother and enjoy your family

I don't blame the operator if he ended up quitting. I can't imagine how traumatic that must've been. Especially if you're one if the unlucky few who have witnessed people falling into the tracks.

We need to find out who is that supervisor!! Give him a piece of our minds.

Sounds like this guy needs to be the supervisor in the other guy needs to be fired.

The system was designed to be failsafe although when you are this specifically incompetent I suppose anything is possible. Whoever gave the order to move a train from middle with the front half having dead breaks that couldn't even be tripped by a signal arm, is the real person at fault here.

Horrible

🤔 something about his story seems off. If his radio wasn’t working why didn’t he use the intercom these trains do have or the buzzer. The buzzer is definitely a valid form of communication. I’m also guessing the e brakes weren’t working bc of the reason why it was taken out of service but something more seems off potentially. Also it being a low speed incident and him being a spectator watching himself be killed seems like he could’ve gone to the back of the car at least or to another if he had more time (toward the back). Also to blame the supervisor saying the supervisor almost took his life heavily implies a malicious intent.

I would never want to be the lookout at the front of the train that has no brakes, and no way to guarantee the supervisor in the middle of the train receives my every command. The operator could have died. I’m sorry- it is safety first. Clear the tracks, or have all the trains run express until the train could be slowly and safely moved to the yard. Also, they need to get rid of the Emergency break cords. We have inconsiderate passengers that love to see chaos erupt. Now, I understand how this could be considered a domino effect.

TWU local 100 we fight to the end

This smells like a cover up. Let’s blame human error rather than say the system failed. The transit system is over 100 years and instead of upgrading over the years they wait until disaster happens to make changes. I hope the news did their research to see if he is even an employee
