The MTA said that 3,500 commuters were left stranded underground for hours after a sudden power outage affected the A, C, F, and G subway lines in Brooklyn. The incident prompted a response from the FDNY, which reported that four individuals sustained minor injuries, with one person sent to the hospital for evaluation. Many passengers expressed their frustration regarding the breakdown, significantly impacting their evening commutes.
A TikTok video captured the chaotic scene as MTA workers assisted stranded passengers, guiding them safely off the trains and onto the tracks to exit the station. This unexpected disruption revealed the challenges commuters faced during the outage, with many waiting for extended periods before resorting to other modes of transportation. 'I waited for about 15-20 minutes, but no train came,' said one frustrated commuter.
According to Con Edison, the power disruption was caused by a feeder cable failure affecting the third rail for trains on the A, C, F, and G lines. The failure led to major inconveniences for thousands, prompting emergency services to get involved quickly to ensure passenger safety and facilitate their exit from the trains.
