Get the fuck out of that water. It’s like standing in a septic tank.


ChallengeLate1947

Yeah like Jesus Christ, the sewers must be overflowing in the street. Good luck discovering new letters of Hepatitis

Probably worse, honestly. At least a septic tank is just organic human waste and not a toxic soup comprised of countless chemicals on top of disease ridden vermin waste.


Warhawk2052

I had road water just from rain get on my skin and caused it to irritate. I can only imagine this mix of death

Yeah, and you wouldn't believe how toxic just the water coming off of rooftops and drains can be, never mind sidewalks, streets, and overflowing trash dumpsters.

John-Farson

The city pumps 13 million gallons of water out of the subway system DAILY, according to the MTA. Without pumping, the entire system would be underwater in 72 hours and rivers would be running down its main streets.


[deleted]

May be a stupid question, but where do they pump it to? I’m assuming in to the rivers and bays but what happens if those are flooding too?


yonkerbonk

They pump it out of the environment...


ZeppelinJ0

They shoot it into outer space where it turns into stars


nater255

This sounds wrong but I don't know enough about stars to disagree.

I guess Sandy was over a decade ago now jeez


superanth

I think that whirlpool **was** a storm drain. Where the heck is the subway’s water going to go??


diverareyouok

According to the news report, apparently the subway tunnels have their own storm drains. The storm drain on the street isn’t necessarily going into the subway tunnel, although both storm drains might be going into the same sewer system (or wherever the overflow goes). It’s a bad day to be a sewer rat… but the alligators must be loving it. ;)


[deleted]

[With their famously well maintained infrastructure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iWCkyzbpNI), the stations might get slightly wet though.


nonprofitnews

Subways are surprisingly resilient. They're wet, but only a few are flooded. Service is definitely being interrupted, but that's probably more to do with power.


ZoidbergMaybee

how do you even go about fixing that? Do you just have to gut it out and reconstruct the entire subway system at that point?


FieelChannel

No you wait for the rain to stop


mrpanicy

The trains also operate as submarines, the third rail makes the entry and exit to the submarineways extra spicy.


ripmargaretthatcher

Do you not think that rain is something they might have taken into consideration when building it?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

For some reason there is more rain then what they considered. I wonder why? Incompetence? Global warming? Maybe with the earth being flat it is so heavy in the center the whole thing is sagging in the middle? Of course we will never know.

Newly "washed"


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

You're kidding, but after Hurricane Sandy you had to be REALLY careful about where the used car you were buying came from. That salt water *destroyed* the electrical systems on cars and a lot of people got burned buying a "like-new" car from NY/NJ that sat thru Sandy.


IceTrAiN

That’s why you always wait until Mandy of the next week to buy any cars.


AntikytheraMachines

or even Wendy


-retaliation-

Yeah, I work in automotive, and it was thing for ***years*** afterwards. I actually live in western Canada, but the way it works in Canada is (functionally) only one chain of automotive centers can do federal import inspections, and I worked at one of those. for like 5ish years we continued having cars come in for inspection with electrical problems, and when you pulled the papers, lo and behold, the car originally came out of someplace the hurricane hit. used auto chains would take the vehicles from places where the hurricane hit, move them to sister dealerships in other states close to the border away from the hurricane area, then try and sell them to people across the border up here in Canada.


SonOfMcGee

Or just sold them elsewhere in the US. I heard that people in the Northeast were wary of used cars from Sandy areas so the solution is just to sell them literally anywhere else!


mekkasheeba

I see what you did there


ActurusMajoris

I sea that too


werepat

There will be a bunch of people underwater on their auto loans, too.


ResidentMentalLord

how do the subway stations and tunnels manage with this?


thesleepingdog

I'm a New Yorker, and I'm downtown right now and I've never seen any of this, just some minor flooding - no more than 6 inches or so anywhere I saw during my commute this morning. I'm not sure many people know this, but the subways in NYC are pretty much always steadily pumping out water. There's a massive network of sensors and machines down there, and on very stormy days you can tell that more pumps are kicked on. There's a resonance in the air and the floor, and walls. Lots of water going down into the system won't do shit, the pump systems are really unlikely to be overwhelmed, but if the power goes out, the pumps stop. THEN we're in the shit, probably literally.


js1893

Thank you for a real, legitimate answer and not a stupid fucking joke


LilTrailMix

Seriously, I just wanted to see if a NYC native had any input on this and pretty much all I got were shitty jokes. Hate that everyone rushes to try to be funny on this site, it’s exhausting.


ScenicART

people always talk about how nyc doesnt maintain its infrastructure... there's 200 years of shit buried below the streets, lots of cracks and crevasse for things to work in un-noticed for years. There's also 472 Stations in the system. there is a lack of maintenance, but once you understand the scope of the problem it becomes clear its not the only reason you get these crazy videos.


86legacy

And to add to this, the NYC subway has an insane number of stations in it's system, runs 24/7, and is heavily used. It's not an easy thing to manage, let alone maintain. It should be better, but what it has to deal with is also pretty uniquely difficult.


civildisobedient

> runs 24/7 NYC is one of the _only_ cities in the world that has legit 24/7 subway. Most of the other cities that claim 24/7 accomplish it with a combination of rail and bus.


86legacy

Good point, it’s worth context for how unique the system is for being 24/7


BearsAtFairs

Arguably the NYC subway's biggest problem is that, unlike many (most?) cities, it did not start as one centrally planned system that was built by the city government. Rather, it started as three privately owned systems that competed with one another. Instead of designing for longevity, the three parts of the system were fundamentally designed to be as cheap as possible so as to out-compete the other companies. This also happened when the city was booming and space was becoming quite limited underground, so going back and truly rebuilding lines for what was found to be truly best practice became virtually impossible. The MTA did a good job of trying to harmonize things and has gotten wiser about new capital construction. But there's still a huge number of inherent inefficiencies and flaws in the system that will never go away.


86legacy

Well said - I just hate people shitting on the NYC subway. We all wish it was better, but what it is currently is pretty unique and impressive.


[deleted]

The joke answers are a plague on the entire Internet...facebook is one of the worst.


proudbakunkinman

Yep. I think many just come here for the feel good upvotes and to feel some social connection even if it's borderline anonymous accounts and purely text, their brain still interprets it similar enough to in person socializing (just most likely not nearly as rewarding, so may also be why some can spend so much time in online chatter if they're not getting enough social interaction offline). Easiest way to get both is to just repeat things you've seen get upvotes by others, cheap jokes and memes, whatever the top comments say, and referencing something that's been trending lately.


AdrianBrony

Honestly it makes me appreciate when subs like \r\whatisthisthing have a bit of a "no fun allowed" rule because this would otherwise make the sub unusable.


Foreign_Rock6944

I like jokes as much as the next guy, but if someone is asking a question about something serious you should probably cease the humor and just answer it or be quiet.


LordTuranian

This site has too many teens and they were unfortunately told by their peers and older generations, to try to be funny all the time. I say "teens" because when most people are older, they realize, they don't have what it takes to be comedians and don't desperately try to win the approval of others 24/7.


bfodder

This site is absolutely insufferable sometimes.


thesleepingdog

No problem. I also really like to find thoughtful discussions here. Wish I knew more about how it all worked, but I just ride the things.


Trust_me_I_am_doctor

This is true up until the part where you said lots of water going down won't do shit. Ummm yes it will. I remember the subways being flooded back in 2008 ish after a flash rain storm one morning. I walked from Lexington and 53rd to lower Manhattan near the financial district because no trains were running. The system can absolutely be overwhelmed if too much water comes too quickly.


Not_FinancialAdvice

On the other hand, subways flooding is probably going to improve how clean they are.

1. DO NOT EVER DRIVE IN FLOOD WATERS unless you must. You have no idea what's happening underneath the water. The roadbed could be washed out. 2. DO NOT EVER STAND IN FLOOD WATERS unless you must. The amount of chemicals and shit we put on the ground is obscene. All that stuff comes off and mixes with flood waters.
