WASHINGTON—According to a study released Monday by the American Public Transportation Association, four out of every five subway track repairmen are run over by trains during the course of a normal workday. “So far this year, over 12,000 subway maintenance workers have been run over throughout the United States, with the average subway train hitting one worker an hour,” said APTA representative David Ross, who noted that most incidents were attributable to repairmen’s negligence, inability to find protective cutouts in tunnel walls in time, or tendency to become transfixed by an oncoming train’s lights. “Whenever passengers feel a bump or a screech, that’s a repairman getting run over. And at any given time, three to five workers are typically caught in each subway car’s underside and are being dragged around from stop to stop.” The report confirmed that every delay on a subway line is due to the train’s path being obstructed by a pile of repairmen corpses.

Too funny. Explains a lot. Would mean that by now there is only one guy remaining and he ain't doing shit but shaking like a leaf mumbling to himself about unemployment benefits not coming. No wonder that subway system sucks. Good luck on that death trap fools. Lol.

I would like to think that team are having some kind of problems lately. They have been tweeting dark stuff. If you need someone to talk, I'm here. :/

That's a scary stats

it is what it is

It would have been 20%, but Kantian ethicists were put in charge of the emergency track redirection levers. 🤷‍♂️

Appreciate your tunnels, people

I feel unclean and violated by my non consensual laughter at this story.

The poor HR manager. On the one hand, the repair crews aren't around long enough to become vested. On the other hand, there's all that paperwork after the incidents.

Pay attention

Did you guys know that 96% of workplace fatalities are male?

Where's Jared?

Lol hey WillFalls be careful out there! 😜

If they insist on looking for Lex Luthor's lair, they deserve it.

I know this is not funny, but...

Add em to the list

Um rats have to feed

Damn. They are really getting railed by the man.

Only because 20% of the trains fail to leave the station

It's a tradition.

Thats what you call a quick turnover.

Dear - you’ve been especially dark lately. Do you need a hug?

This is fucking awful!!! Why isn't anybody doing anything to stop it?

SubwayTrackRepairmenLivesMatter

Fuck 2020.

Clearly sexism is at play here, give women more jobs!

Pick a different sandwich, already!

Spawn points at every station

So that's who is making all the screeching noises.

It ain’t easy for us trackworkers. Be safe out there to all the men and women working the tracks!

Man Up!

It's just the subway labor union creating jobs for unemployed americans...do they at least get hazard pay?🤣

Makes sense.

Very sad but I see no way around this

If this keeps up, those tracks will never get fixed in this never ending cycle

That % seems a bit high.

Lower number than I thought.

Brings new meaning to 'turnover rate.'

This one was dark man lmao

It’s considered training.

what a horrible reality for the passengers who have to witness this must be traumatizing

They really need to take their headphones off GOD BLESS OUR TRACK MEN, THE THIN STEEL LINE.
