New York subway riders are just as decent and as brave as the DC passengers who rescued a man who accidentally drove his motorized wheelchair off the platform and down to the dangerous Metro tracks.
But New York City's MTA managers, unlike the people in charge of the DC Metro, has made sure there are no cameras in place recording activity 24/7 on platforms. In my opinion they would not like those cameras because they would also record attacks by criminals on passengers. Without the cameras the MTA can continue to blame the victims of track homicides.
Here's a surveillance photo of the man tumbling onto the tracks. Note that the photo is copyrighted by the Washington Area Metro Transit Authority.
Here's a link where you can watch the surveillance video of the rescue.
When will the MTA catch up with other cities?
When will New York's media even notice how dismally their city's subway compares to other cities in the matter of surveillance?
