Cliffs: Woman pushed man into the subway tracks for no reason. Man dies.

As a daily train rider in NYC this is one of my biggest fears. Theres hundreds of people waiting on line for the train at every single stop. If you dont wait in the front, chances are you will not get on the train. Pretty much anybody can just push you as the train comes.


The death of a man who was shoved in front of an oncoming New York City subway train spurred a police hunt on Friday for the woman seen pushing him, as the second such violent death this month left its imprint on the city's millions of subway riders.

The woman appeared to be mumbling to herself and pacing, witnesses told police, before she approached the man from behind on the platform of an elevated station in the borough of Queens and shoved him onto the subway track Thursday evening.

She ran from the station to the street in a scene caught on video footage that the police released on Friday as they searched for the unidentified woman, who, they said, was last seen wearing a ski jacket along with red and gray Nikes.

The death in Queens was the second time this month that a New York subway rider was killed after being pushed onto the tracks - a chilling notion for anyone who uses the city's transit system - and came just ahead of the New Year's holiday in a city choked with visitors.

"To say that it's only two in, you know, a long period of time doesn't help either person," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Friday on WOR Radio 710 AM's "The John Gambling Show."

Police said it remains unclear whether the woman being sought knew the victim, who they initially had trouble identifying because his body had been so badly mangled by the train. He has yet to be named.

In New York's subway stations, some took added precautions Friday, standing a few extra feet away from the platform edge. Commuter Chloe Morris, traveling from New Jersey, said she prefers to sit on a bench rather than stand on the platform while waiting for a train.

"I don't come close to the edge until a train comes," Morris said as she waited in the Times Square station. "There's too many crazy people in the world."

On December 3, Ki-Suck Han was killed after being shoved onto subway tracks in Manhattan as a train entered the 49th Street station near Times Square. A suspect, Naeem Davis, has been charged with second-degree murder.

Including Thursday's incident, 139 people were struck by New York City subway trains so far in 2012, 54 of them fatally, a Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman said on Friday, adding that the tally was preliminary and subject to change.

7 is the one going to Queens?

If so, that's the one I take all the time when I visit family.

Also, I've always been paranoid waiting for a subway. It's simple to fall even by yourself if you don't mind your surroundings. I take it's way easier if someone just pushes you. Scary shit.

I was there in NY 2 years ago for Thanksgiving. The Macy's parade was one of the most epic days of my life. It felt like a movie with all the big balloons and the streets being blocked off for pedestrians.

Then my aunt ordered chinese food somewhere in Flushing and that was pretty great. I looked at the menu and it was close to $20 per dish. Is that the norm in Flushing or did my aunt just choose an expensive restaurant?

Over here in So Cal, it's about $8 - $10 per dish.
 
lets ban trains now too


i mean, it is crazy people walking the streets that is the real problem. but lets walk around with our heads up our asses

You mean takeout Chinese food? I think its the same everywhere, around $5 lunch specials for General Tso's and fried rice and soup and soda?

Yeah it was take out but with seafood. I could've sworn noodles was also around $15. Then she took the train back to the condo and we all ate. You New Yorkers are crazy and disciplined. She had to carry the food on the train and then walk several blocks.

Over here we're spoiled, we just drive where ever we go. I like the culture over though, people seemed to have less first world problems than So Cal.
