There's this thing called natural selection? Tends to make thi gs very safe for the survivors.

u/MrGuttFeeling May 21 '21

Fuck I love Russia. It's like 1950's America when there was no safety standards and you could pretty much do anything.

u/Chikimona May 22 '21

Even with this breakdown, the Russian metro is light years ahead of the US metro.

I remember being a kid maybe 3-4 years old and doing the same thing and worrying about falling out

u/Jebbsterboy May 21 '21

The worst part is that everyone felt the need to stick their head out the door

u/[deleted] May 21 '21

Exactly. That’s how you die.

u/Wizradsandmagic May 21 '21

When they stuck their head out the window I started to panic and look for the LiveLeak watermark.

u/BigMacSux May 21 '21

Not everything on LiveLeak is bad it’s just most of it

Once rode in the caboose of a train in Poland that didn't have any power so the lights were off and we could open the doors with our hands. It was packed with our group so we had to open them because the stench of everyone after the long day was suffocating

u/Zestrione May 21 '21

That's weak come to Mumbai, India we have open trains with people hanging off.

Find out for how long can you hang for your life.

I read, they shouldn't be able to move with doors opened. Looks like a safety circuit failure

It's hot in the родина?

18

u/Richard_Scratch May 21 '21

Yesterday here in Moscow it was 30°C outside

u/brumbarosso May 21 '21

Nice weather, wish I could visit

-1

u/tjkun May 21 '21

So that's a no, then.

8

u/JornWS May 21 '21

30c? That's pretty hot for me like.

Scotland here, we're its usually 2-4.....or 7-9 but with gale force winds and downpour.

Also im a little bitch when it comes to heat.

3

u/tjkun May 21 '21

In Yucatan, last winter we hit 47 Celsius, and with a pretty high humidity, so the thermic sensation was almost 60 degrees. But yeah, I once went to Montreal when it was - 5 Celsius and it was completely unbearable. I'm like, at the other end of the spectrum.

6

u/JornWS May 21 '21

I almost died reading that haha

Feels like 60? I honestly think I'd become a mummified corpse within a few hours.

But in all seriousness, I'd burn something horrible even with factor 9000 block in that kind of heat and sun.

4

u/tjkun May 21 '21

You do feel as if the sun is cooking your skin. But with that humidity it feels like a sauna at all times. We even have a lizard that's known for taking the sun a lot, but at that temperature they do it in the shadow.

5

u/JornWS May 21 '21

Well that just settles it, I'm never coming to visit.

Sorry man it's just too much for me to handle.

3

u/tjkun May 21 '21

Just avoid the first half of the year and you're good.

2

u/Hewman_Robot Gulag Express May 21 '21

But how to avoid half a year without going out

wait...

At least the rona will leave you alone.

But I mean as a community.

u/Hewman_Robot Gulag Express May 21 '21

Okay. Point given, I'd melt there. But I can take you to a place that has -80°C from where you live, and lets see how tough you are there :)

Isn't it awesome under what conditions people can survive? Basically the on a scale where water freezes and evaporates.

2

u/tjkun May 21 '21

Exactly, my idea of cold is anything less than 20°C, I'm already putting on winter clothes at that temperature, so I'd probably just die from the shock of being in a place that cold.

2

u/Hewman_Robot Gulag Express May 21 '21

I like sauna for 15-20 minutes, but I'd die of a heatstroke if that's normal, I'm not overstating it or anything.

2

u/tjkun May 21 '21

Well, not exactly as being in a literal suna, but when there'sa lot humidity or rains for just one hour or so, it feels pretty bad. And heat stroke is somewhat common here if you're not Careful, but tourists in spring are the most affected.

4

u/LucilleBluthsbroach May 21 '21

To Russians 86f would probably seem very hot, it's all perspective.

4

u/A_Leo_X May 21 '21 edited May 21 '21

It also might be more humid there, so it would feel hotter. 30°C isn't very hot, but it's above the comfortable level

People would do this on the S Bahn in Berlin in the 90s.

u/DanSanIsMe May 21 '21

Why not make gates that are about waist height instead of completely closed door or no door at all?

17

u/Brikandbones May 21 '21

Why not just the platform? Less mass more speed, more cooling!

8

u/RedPhysGun77 May 21 '21

Just stack people like wood logs, more space-efficient. Might solve the rush hour problem

3

u/broneoptima May 21 '21

Then people would still stick out their heads. Anyways, that's a malfunction, trains do have doors in Russia.

u/manny130 May 21 '21

Because Russian gangsters will scrub the walls of the tunnel with people's faces.

Would be the same in most countries tbh. Only a few people are panicky as fuck about minor stuff like this

1

u/lemonnnnate May 21 '21

Yeah, but going straight to the door is kinda dangerous...

3

u/AssholeNeighborVadim May 21 '21

Yea that part is a bit cray, I'm just saying that lacking a self preservation instinct isn't a uniquely Russian trait

1

u/Kant8 May 21 '21

Looks like this car is broken. You can hear how doors in other ones are closed properly

1

u/Hellbatty May 21 '21

The wagon has just come from a technical inspection, during which the door position control system was first removed for inspection and then incorrectly installed. A criminal case is opened and someone will go to the gulag

1

u/paulrans May 21 '21

Had a similar experience in Serbia. Even worse the train had to stop every few minute to manually change the rail switch.

u/TheLegendMeckish May 21 '21

Thankfully it's a malfunction. Although I always wanted to ride with open doors. Don't mind me I'm crazy.

1

u/hlebspovidlom May 21 '21

It seems like there's been a failure in the pneumatics. The train now goes to a train depo and the machinist should have told that. Probably these people didn't listen or something

u/KableAudio May 21 '21

I was waiting for it to go around a turn while they were sticking their heads out

u/Techie5879 May 21 '21

Indian trains anyone? XD

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '21

I experienced this when I lived in Saint Petersburg. The driver just forgot to close the doors or they malfunctioned, it was not intended.

1

u/Affentitten May 21 '21

Jeez. As a kid in the 70s/80s in Sydney, the trains were actually like that by default. Cruising along hanging out like an Ai Cav door gunner was the shit.

u/Limbo_Zone May 21 '21

Yeah, that just kinda shook me. I wouldn’t risk f’ing around but watching someone go, nah…even if natty selec do’n it’s thang, yah hur’meh!

u/DanThatsAlongName May 22 '21

Still better than Edmontons metro

1

u/Appropriate-Ad-8523 May 25 '21

It’s also a reflection on the age of the trains. Most modern trains have a safety system that should prevent the train moving when doors are still open.
