According to a survey conducted by the StrapHangers Campaign, New York City subways have gotten dirtier, with less than half meeting standards for interior cleansiness.

The 8th annual "subway shmutz" survey, found the E and M train-lines so dirty that more than 95 percent of their cars were found to have dirt-encrusted seats or floors. The survey, conducted on 22 subways lines, from Sept. 2nd to January 5th, took into account only the cleanliness of floors and seats, litter and graffiti are not considered. These inspections mirror those use by the Transit Agency's own inspectors.

The 4 line, was considered the cleaness (Brooklyn!!!), while the 1 line was considered most improved...I wonder if they took into account the number of train dwellers that live in these cars from day to day, cause that certainly has an affect on my commute.

A 16-yr old began shouting threats in a New York airport causing fear and panic. "It's time to die!" shouted the teen as he reached into his backpack. Officers were able to detain the teen, and later determined he had not been carrying any dangerous material. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation, and then will be arraigned in Cheektowaga Town Court.
