Well, if anyone has seen pictures of the Tokyo subway system...that's what it's been like recently on all the subway lines...
This is actually about as crowded as it gets NORMALLY, I can't imagine how bad it is now, since I don't ride that line. [Picture taken at Chambers Street-World Trade Center (A/C platform)]
Damaged circuits at the Chambers Street-World Trade Center signal complex--affects 8th Avenue Line service from 207th Street, Manhattan to Euclid Avenue, Brooklyn
People waiting outside Jay Street, Borough Hall (Brooklyn) for shuttle bus service to replace critical subway station service to High Street Brooklyn Bridge, wiped out with the lack of A/C service, and the A diverted onto the F line

Supposedly all of this was caused by just one homeless man's doing, but it's affecting 600,000 riders daily, and service has been cut into a third of normal rush hour capacity. This begs the question of the vulnerability of the NYC subway system, which has been considered as a target for terrorism (but they end up banning cameras instead).
Heads are expected to roll as the NY Daily News publishes an editorial calling for the resignation of the Chairman Lawerence G. Reuter if this cannot be fixed immediately.

On a side note, they're calling for fare hikes. This is what happens when the state government decides to stop funding things...
