Paramedic here-

If you ever see a vehicle with an unconscious person in it, don’t initially try to open the door.

The chemicals she combined form hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide will fucking kill you. It is lethal in the range of 500-1000ppm, which is not very much. The levels generated by that chemical reaction in an enclosed space are significantly higher than that, and opening the door will release a cloud in your face. Three first responders were exposed in this incident- luckily they are ok.

If it is a chemical suicide, the person is already dead. There is no antidote. There is no use breaking the window or dragging them out. You will just become a patient. Hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten eggs. If you smell that, you are way too fucking close.

If you see someone appearing unconscious in a vehicle, take a peek. She left a 5 gallon mixing bucket in the passenger seat, which should have tipped off responders. Generally with “detergent suicide” the victim leaves a note to not open the door, but not always, as in this case.

If you are truly concerned, Knock on the glass. Don’t be afraid to knock hard. Odds are they are asleep the likelihood of waking up someone who lives out on Long Island or upstate and is working doubles in the city, or just someone having a plain old overdose are much higher than it being a chemical suicide. Just call 911 and let them know what you see. They will determine what resources to send, and a clear concise description of the scene will start the ball rolling faster and get the right resources to you.

Do. Not. Open. The. Fucking. Door.

It was pretty fucking bad. FDNY is still spraying it down now and they started around 1-2 PM.

Another permanent part of the new New York.

This question will never ever go unwritten unfortunately. Just a bunch of low-class trash causing mischief out of boredom. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would brag about beating/messing with a 44 year old woman, let alone 3 grown idiots

57th and 7th facing west? Doesn't matter! Your work is excellent and improved to a high level the past year.

I would pay to do that

You think that reports of rapes and sexual attacks aren’t worth investigating? Yes, you’re uniformed. The other link I provided was the case of a man who serially raped children under the age of 11 for over 3 years.

I only know San Diego, the Coaster and the Blue and Orange lines. Plus the 235 bus. They were all great. Like 6.50 for a day pass - was $5. Vagrants like to hang out and pee off the bus station benches in the daylight.

They leave out the race in all local crime stories. But you never see these comments when it’s a white perp. Geeze wonder why.

Sunnyside Yard looks like another place now. Like 10 guys digging under the live tracks all day every other day to lay pipes, and another 10 on a weekend to pull a fat cable through the pipe. Must be a day or two to hook up the wires. Not sure how many times this was done - maybe 100?

Unfortunately I’m sure our capitalist society forced the city to kowtow to developers and we need more shelter space so I’m sure they reluctantly chose that

WTF is wrong with people

Something tells me he has priors and was released on bail. The usual.

Beyond disgusting. My heart goes out to that poor woman. When they catch that animal, I hope they actually throw him in prison for a long time. But it's NYC, so he'll probably be released on bail. The usual.

Just looked up the Edge, definitely will be going there instead, thank you so much for the tip! As far as parking I’m coming from New England, I’ll look up some spots and see what I can figure out. If you have any good out of the city parking spots that are connected to the subway you could recommend I’d be so grateful. Thanks!

disagree with op, but it’s not victim blaming to say something could have been prevented

levels.fyi is a great resource, the app blind can be OK

generally for NYC big money without crazy expectations once you pass the interview are Google, Meta, Amazon, there are probably more others could add

> Also harder to complain when dead.

That reminds me how work on elevateds suddenly accelerated when falling wooden beams kept smashing through parked car windows underneath them lol

My original post was referring to the N/W which does not have CBTC upgrades yet AFAIK. I know the Queens Blvd line is in the process but I believe it is heavily delayed.
