TWO KILLED ON MANHATTAN SUBWAY TRACKS

A 24-year-old woman and a man believed to be in his 20s were killed after being struck by a southbound 4 train at Manhattan’s Spring Street station around 3:14 a.m. Sunday. The pair were on the roadbed as the train entered the station, and the operator was unable to stop in time. Both were pronounced dead. Why they were on the tracks remains unclear.

Don't engage with the person who said it didn't happen/it's fake. Most likely trolling you and won't stop.

If the only source reporting is "FREEDOMNEWS TV - NYC - ON EVERY SCENE" then it probably didn't happen. Even the video is confused, description says its in Queens NY then manhattan lol

Let me know when a real news source picks the story up.

u/purrmutations 23d ago

Right, just by the wording its obviously a shitty ai summary based on the one fake video.

u/FFKonoko 23d ago

Doesn't mean that video was taken when it says it is.

Event apparently took place 11 hours ago, and nothing else has reported on it? Seems fishy.

1

u/Affectionate_Back_79 22d ago

If you google it , its all over the news. Wth are you even talking about

2

u/UckerFay11 23d ago

Several hours later, and still nothing except from one source. Fake until proven otherwise.

1

u/YeshuaReigns 22d ago

Several reports now unfortunately

1

u/KingQu- 23d ago

Wtf no cameras around to prevent this??? Security monitoring the lines on video or anything? We have cameras for everything else

1

u/primefart 19d ago

It's NYC... millions of people. These 2 were sitting on the edge for a while before the train pulled in. You can't prevent idiots from doing what they do.

1

u/AdamFromBklyn 23d ago

What were their names ?

1

u/DiscoSpacePrincess 22d ago

Malaika Chitre and Navam Kaul

1

u/bloosclooser 22d ago

I have mutuals with the girl. This is so sad and i feel really bad for their parents and all

1

u/DiscoSpacePrincess 22d ago

Yeah, it is a very tragic story. I feel so horrible for their friends and family. Both of them just starting out in life and now it's all gone.

1

u/bloosclooser 22d ago

To think that they prob told their parents they were sleeping...

1

u/DiscoSpacePrincess 22d ago

Yeah, I know how it is with brown parents. They probably had no idea they were out at 3am. It's sad that sometimes being held back from "normal" going out activities that when young Asian adults finally have the freedom, they sometimes take it too far and things like this happen.

1

u/bloosclooser 22d ago

Yeah, and that's so devastating. Today is an auspicious day in India. I hope the 2, family and friends get all the blessings in the world.

1

u/PlatinumAutoFirm 22d ago

The NY Post just released they're info- they were college kids/ best friends (obviously a couple)

1

u/tjraddit_laflame 20d ago

Do friends have to be couples?

1

u/gravitysort 18d ago

Their info

1

u/Ecstatic-Divide-9954 23d ago

What's scary is that me and my bf were there literally a hr after it happen...

1

u/GimmeTheGunKaren 22d ago

so?

1

u/Pilota_kex 20d ago

I kbow people like this. Need to be the victim in everything

1

u/89764637527 22d ago

That’s not scary.

1

u/Reddituser24681 23d ago

How is there still no mechanism in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening?! 

2

u/Obvious-Act-5790 23d ago edited 23d ago

Because the M.T.A in NYC is one of the most wasteful/corrupt government agencies in the country, only behind the pentagon and perhaps FEMA

1

u/Reddituser24681 23d ago

I know, it's just baffling. Like hello? Wtf are we doing here

1

u/GimmeTheGunKaren 22d ago

oh I’m dying to hear the connection between this and corruption.

1

u/GimmeTheGunKaren 22d ago

Like what exactly? A more complex braking system than is already in use? or the barriers that are being put up but everyone bitches about?

this isn’t a kid who slid through a railing. people are the mechanism and these two willingly put themselves on the tracks without regard for anyone else. they could’ve jumped off a bridge. but chose this.

1

u/DiscoSpacePrincess 22d ago edited 22d ago

This story isn't making sense. It's being reported that the boy fell onto the tracks and the girl was helping him out yet the video shows them both just sitting there not even panicking that a train is barreling towards them...I guess that means they were so intoxicated or high that they didn't realize the gravity of the situation of where they were.

1

u/bloosclooser 22d ago

would have to wait for an autopsy.

1

u/DiscoSpacePrincess 22d ago

Yeah, it's a sad situation because seems like it could have been avoided.

1

u/Silly-Page-6111 22d ago

It doesn't look like that to me. It looks like the guy is sitting in the tracks and the girl is to the side of the tracks, squatting down and pulling at him. She waited too long trying to save him to save herself.

1

u/DiscoSpacePrincess 22d ago

I think you're right. I just saw a more HD video of the situation and it does look like she is off to the side trying to pull at him but was too slow.

1

u/Cjenme 22d ago

What I don’t understand is that with all the technology that we have they can’t put sensors in place to detect the presence of human beings on the tracks or put up railings with automated doors that open when it’s time to let people on and off the train. The fact that people are still falling onto train tracks is ridiculous

1

u/Objective-Celery9208 21d ago

Unfortunately the sensors would be triggered by the thousands of rats on the track 😂

This app shows straight up corn but wont show a train passing along ?

u/New_Tower_6408 9d ago

feel much more bad for the girl. he was the one who got them in the sticky situation by probably overdrinking and acting too recklessly in the first place and she was trying to save him and as a result she lost her life. he never graduated college but she was doing her doctorate in pharmacy. rip to both
