Slow down trains to save lives, says pol
The Big Apple was suddenly terrorized at the news of three individuals being pushed into the path of incoming trains at the end of 2012, events that resulted in calls for immediate reforms from local politicians to attempt to prevent future misfortunes.
Councilmember Vincent Gentile has a pragmatic approach to the problem that, he said, wouldn’t cost the city a huge amount of money but could make a major difference: making trains slow down when they enter the stations.
Gentile thinks that his solution could help spare the lives of people who fall onto the train tracks, whether from being pushed or accidentally.
