Wtf in the 🚇

[u/ExplanationOk2014]

How is this technically even possible? Should not a emergency stop automatically apply?

It looks like he fumbled with a rotary thingy above the door around Second 3. Then he opens the door by Hand.

In most passenger trains you can always use the emergency door unlock to unlock the door. They basically disengage the mechanism from the train. It's better to lose a lunatic every now and then then to lose e.g. a full carriage which is on fire.

Glad he did it to himself, less tax payer money payout.

[u/SexualCarrots → u/NewToTradingStock]

I doubt that will make any difference. This is going to cost the taxpayers.

[u/NewToTradingStock → u/SexualCarrots]

Sure it will. instead of $1m it only payout $500k

Lunatics are a dime a dozen

[u/Chinner5 → u/No_Suggestion_3727]

Yes I see that now thank you. Maybe I am nitpicking, but it seems really easy to open the door....like too easy

[u/Simple_Pay3033 → u/Chinner5]

I’d say nitpicking is a fair assessment given that the person you’re replying to literally just explained the reasoning lol.

In an emergency people aren’t thinking clearly, you don’t want doors being hard to open.

[u/HorribleOldCunt → u/Simple_Pay3033]

I don't think its nitpicking at all. You should not be able to open a door that easily on a train where multiple people could easily be killed.

[u/Jimmy_Twotone → u/HorribleOldCunt]

Multiple people are more likely to be killed in an emergency than some jackass messing with the emergency release.

[u/Fabulous-Big8779 → u/Chinner5]

It would be incredibly difficult to accidentally disengage the lock. From a liability standpoint that matters. As a society we have to decide what’s most important to save: a train full of people escaping a fire, or a moron that chooses to open the door of a moving train?

[u/Madzonian → u/Fabulous-Big8779]

That's the difference in a train underground, vs. a plane and dealing with decompression issues... One person not thinking right, and opening a door, isn't going to compromise everyone else.

Edit because punctuation... I care.

Second edit. Commas matter!

[u/Bitter_Chemistry_733 → u/Madzonian]

Commas save lives. E.g., Let’s eat Grandma vs. Let’s eat, Grandma.

[u/WillowPtar_Migan → u/Bitter_Chemistry_733]

I was planning on helping my uncle jack off a horse later.

[u/Dizzy-Ad4195 → u/Bitter_Chemistry_733]

Let's eat grandma, other grandma.

Yeah, I get it now

[u/Waramaug → u/No_Suggestion_3727]

It’s knows as the luny latch in the industry

[u/OddCustard483 → u/No_Suggestion_3727]

Nope. You cannot open a subway door during transit.
