There are people who get a job at police or firefighters, and there are people who don't get a job there. So don't blame people who don't get a job, as they would not be willing to "save lives". Everybody is a hero. Some just have no opportunity to show it.

He was my conductor a few times when he was brand new on the job. Out of everyone he was the nicest, kindest, most respectful young man I’d every met at TA. He always gave a warm, hearty greeting, like he was truly happy to see you. I hope those who he saved know they were saved by an angel❤️

[@kotarohanawa7909]

I am a rail enthusiast from Tokyo, Japan. I just learned of this tragedy thanks to this video. It is extremely regrettable that a dedicated worker had lost its invaluable life in a arson attack. I remember traveling on the subway back in 2016, when there were plenty of R32 trains, which I was particularly fond of. The crews were very enthusiastic about their jobs, waving at my camera every time. I will never forget the experience. That being said, here in Tokyo, it is not uncommon for arson to occur on our transit system. As a result, trains which runs underground have strict fire prevention building standards. None of the material composing the train can be combustible by any means. This standard was made even more strict after the Korean subway arson in the early 2000s. I am sure that the fleet in New York must have similar, if not stricter standards regarding fire safety. However, the footage suggest that the fire not only spread through the second car (perhaps the total energy released by the chemical reaction of the content inside the cart was enough to heat up the second car to damage it) but have spread to the rest of the four car sets. How can that happen? We had several arson attack last year alone, including one using flammable gas as an accelerator. The train was filled with smoke, but only the seat melted and there were no damage to the rest, let alone to the other cars. It is puzzling to see this result given the fact that New York City have one of the most sophisticated anti terror safety code.

[@davidvilabrera]

The findings of the Fire Marshals - the branch of the Fire Department tasked with investigating cases of arson or any suspicious fires - will show if any kind of accelerant was used in this incident so that a criminal prosecution of those responsible can proceed. A criminal case due to the loss of life is already in progress, and it is not yet known if there have been any arrests made in the case. Still, the loss of life is terrible.

[@tristanexists1806]

Very tragic indeed I remember the fire in South Korea, it happened in 2003 that incident and the one in new York just goes to show how devastating fire can be on a train especially if the right safety standards aren't implemented rip to all involved

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

One thing to keep in mind is that even if the contents of the railcar itself are not necessarily flammable, a shopping cart full of flammable items holds a lot of energy. Trap that inside a metal box and the results can be terrifying. It is really sad this happened and respect for the crew who put the safety of their riders over their own lives. This is not an easy job when you have to deal with mentally disturbed people daily 😔.

Not only is it sad, but also disappointing to hear that #6346-#6350 is being stripped for spare parts from what I’m seeing here.

Even though I understand that the homeless do not know any better, still, they need to be held accountable for their actions that have caused all the preventable tragedies to occur

the truly sad thing is the guy who started this was most likely denied the help he needed by the authorities on the basis of the costs of providing him with long term care. But the hollowness of that argument is laid bare when you consider what it would have cost to provide him with residential care for the rest of his life even if that meant for decades, compared to the millions of dollars of damage done by him in this one incident. To say nothing of the loss of an innocent life. It was simply cheaper to care for him properly. But the bureaucrats in charge don't get this because of their own shallowness, shortsightedness and stupidity.
