Scary Stuff
Last night on the subway - we were riding in the 10 pm hour - I read the NY Post's story about the chainsaw-wielding maniac who decided to carve up a man waiting on the platform. That brought to mind other recent incidents on the subways, including the serial stabber last month, who attacked a Texas man without any warning signs. Now comes news that terrorists were plotting to bomb the PATH tubes in an effort to flood lower Manhattan. It all makes you realize how vulnerable you whenever you're on public transportation or out in the public for that matter. Someone could strike you down anytime, anywhere for any reason or no reason. It's just something I'll have to put out of my mind when I ride. I can't live my life like a hermit, but perhaps I can be more vigilent of my surroundings.
