A whole bunch of Queens commuters almost got to star in their very own horror movie yesterday when a rogue contractile organ accidentally tire through an F - power train subway tunnel with a 10 - in drill bit . So , uh , glad Halloween . Or something .
grant tothe New York Post :
The manipulator take heed a thundering noise on the roof and stopped the underground with the emergency brakes — and then pick up the drill extend from the cap of the burrow to the floor , which struck down just inches from the side of the train .
Apparently , contractors were n’t even reckon to be drilling in that spot , but “ some hoi polloi do n’t follow instructions . ” Why no , no they do n’t .
fortuitously for the 800 - remaining passengers on the gear , the only physical damage was to the train ’s ( now - shattered ) windows and ( now - gouged ) blade frame . Butaccording to one passenger“It ’s operose to believe that bump … How could someone jockey up that bad ? ”
