Jumped on a 6 at City Hall after leaving a client's downtown, anticipating a slow ride uptown, but having a seat. Go for a little while, start to pull into Canal St station, train SLAMS on the brakes. Sit around for 15 minutes or so, no announcement from conductor, but notice car in front of mine is unloading into the station (that car had actually made it to the station). Move to that car, get out, MTA employee is telling everyone to keep moving, somebody jumped in front of the train. Walk to exit, cops, paramedics and firefighters are POURING into the station. You can smell...uh...I'd rather not think about what I was smelling. Get outside, it looks like a warzone. Cop cars, firetrucks everywhere, 4 choppers hovering above.
Grab an M1 bus uptown, ride for almost an hour and a half (packed like a sardine since 4 5 and 6 service was suspended as far as I could tell) to 79th st, walk crosstown to 1st Ave, get home, post on AT
. Ugh. I'm going get a drink with my gf. That was crazy.
