From today's Daily News:
Ho hum.
Another violent death-by-train.
Late at night when there are few witnesses.
We can count on the following:
If there were no witnesses (civilians, not TA employees) the death will automatically be classified as "accident" and the NYPD will undertake no investigation just as they did for 25 deaths in 2012.
There are likely no surveillance camera recordings of the incident. (MTA lawyers hate surveillance cameras.)
If there happen to be surveillance cameras, no pictures will be released.
The media will quickly forget about this violent death.
Ho hum.
A straphanger was killed early Thursday when he was struck by an oncoming L train in the East Village, officials said.
The unidentified commuter was at the Third Ave. station near E. 14th St. at about 4:45 a.m. when the train rammed into him.
First responders rushed to the scene, but the victim could not be saved, officials said.
Further details were not immediately revealed.
