A metro train and a man collided yesterday evening causing mayhem on my commute home. Witnesses believe he intentionally jumped in front of the train.
After part of the rail shut down, weak, obese, and the elderly were forced to climb massive amounts of unmoving escalator stairs causing multiple faintings and other issues. This led to the closure of yet another metro station causing all following trains to route past to the next available station which assisted in causing crazy amounts of street traffic not only heading South West but also North East.
After waiting for a connecting shuttle bus where I witnessed people shoving pregnant women and mothers with young children to the back of the line and then being denied entry onto an empty bus that was intended to shuttle the displaced commuters - I decided to walk 2 miles to the next station that was running trains in both directions but taking turns on a single track. All in all it took me 3 hours to get home. In case of state emergency I've learned that I'll probably die in the city without even a chance. Whoop de doo.
