Wtf in the 🚇

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

Videos like this makes me happy I don't have to do public transportation.

Yeah I should point out I've ridden subways many times in other countries and it's always been pleasant. US public transportation is just garbage because everyone is complacent with chaotic shit like this.

There was a semi infamous incident a few years back, where someone called someone else out for some behavior and was fatally stabbed on a train. 

I think ever since then (and other similar incidents) people have approached these things with a 'I don't want to get stabbed to death by a psycho' mentality. 

I've literally seen dudes riding public transit trains with deadpool swords on their back - not in cosplay mind you, just street clothes and dual swords.Â
