random act of violence -- scary stuff in the NYC subway
so this morning I had a seminar at our company's corporate headquarters on Wall Street. so instead of taking the E train to the World trade Center, for connection to the PATH and Jersey City, I took the #2 train to the Wall Street Station. for those who don'tknow, the Wall Street station is a horror show -- a very narrow central platform separates inbound trains from outbound trains, and very narrow stairways lead passengers up from this underground sardine can towards daylight. at 8:45 in the morning it can ben quite crowded and frenetic. and tempers are short around Wall Street these days. (gee, I wonder why?) when I got out of the train, I met up with two of my colleagues from work -- Alan and Mindy -- who were also headed to the seminar. so we start to walk up one of the narrow stairways....when there's a commotion at the top of the stairs. I'm not sure exactly what happened. it involved a woman who was headed up the stairs and two young men who were headed down....
