Was anyone else on the train that stopped in New Hyde Park on Friday
I was on the 5:33pm train out of Penn Friday and it stopped in New Hyde Park. At first they said we stopped for a fatality. Thankfully that was not the case. But I was amazed at how much more concerned people were about the fact that they were late for their plans or whatever over the fact that someone might have died or been hurt. Believe me I don't like spending an extra hour & a half on the LIRR than I have to but please show some compassion.
As far as I know a 69 year old woman fell in the gap and broke her hip.. probably because someone pushed their way off. Be carefull all my LIRR friends people are ruthless.

I KNOW !!! It really amazes me how people can be. One time I was on the LIRR and somebody had a seizure and people were like like "can we get going already it is getting late". The woman was seriously ill and they wanted to make sure she was stable enough to continue to the next stop.
A couple of weeks ago someone came into work late and was like "Nothing like someone deciding to kill themselves by throwing themselves in front of a NJ Transit train on a Monday morning"
Getting to and from work isn't as important as someone's well being.

I was on the 6:08 and the police were still at the station. So sad..I really hate riding the LIRR everyday.

What I also hate was the misinformation. They first told us it is a fatality!!! OMG!!! Then it was an incident. Get your facts straight. I like to know what's going on but don't make all of us in the front car feel like we just struck someone just to say oops .... someone fell between the gap.. Not that that's not bad but a little different than someone got plowed down.
I was lucky and had a few good commuters but some were crass. "Why jump in front of the train at rush hour an make us all late." This was what some people were saying.
