NYC Subway Trains Collide, At Least 24 Injured

Who is driving these trains? Who is maintaining them?

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say: it’s probably not white men.

Diversity is leading to a breakdown of some of the most basic systems. Due to the IQ gap, things are just not going to work if you replace white men with women and nonwhites.

New York Post:

At least 24 people were hurt and hundreds were evacuated after two subway trains collided on the Upper West Side Thursday afternoon, causing both to derail, officials said.

A northbound 1 train with up to 500 passengers was pulling out of the 96th Street station shortly after 3 p.m. when it collided with another disabled 1 train and both derailed, police sources said.

The disabled train was being worked on due to vandalism after someone went through the train pulling the emergency brake cords in several cars, MTA officials said.

Four MTA workers were on board trying to reset the brakes at the time — but no customers.

Officials confirmed that at least 24 people suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals.

Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured. The injuries that were sustained were consistent with a low-speed train derailment,” FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief Ian Swords told reporters outside of the train station Thursday night.

The passenger train, which did not completely exit the station, was evacuated via the station platform, officials said.

About 300 to 400 additional passengers were also evacuated from a train that was not involved but stuck behind the collision after power was shut down. The passengers got off through the train that had derailed, officials said.

Rich Davey, president of the MTA, said there is nothing to suggest the crash was equipment-related and are investigating any human factors that could have caused it.

The equipment was working as intended,” he said of the switches and signals.

Obviously, two trains should not be bumping into one another,” he said. “We are going to get to the bottom of that.”

The passenger train was diverted to the express track to get around the dead train at the 96th Street station. The switch back to the local track is just north of the station, the MTA said.

As the train switched over from the express track, the stuck train began moving again for unknown reasons and the two front cars hit each other, causing both to derail, transit officials said.

This is a pretty major incident.

It should be a time for reflection on the decision to replace white men.

Frankly, I don’t think women should be working in any job like this, ever, even if some tiny portion of them are capable. But with the blacks: I wouldn’t even argue they should be totally barred, but they should have to pass the same testing and meet the same standards as whites.

Although it’s not obvious, not all blacks are totally stupid. The reason it is not obvious is that the government gives jobs to blacks that they are incapable of doing. Just being black means the government will give you more or less any job you ask for.

It’s not working. People are dying out there due to these diversity policies.
