A Little About the Second Avenue Subway

The restaurants are listed because of the scaffolding and people can’t see above the construction.

One is a tunnel boring machine. Not very dangerous because of it’s slow speed. The other is dynamite. Dynamite is dangerous to the workers who handle it. People in old buildings despise it. And it distracts people from work.

I don’t think that you should expect anything. The working and sanitary conditions aren’t very good around here

 The second avenue subway has been around for decades and mind you, it’s quite annoying. And dangerous. MTA has spent 4.4 billion dollars on this. Yeah, I know sounds like a lot? Take a look at the working conditions. Most of their money was directed toward the subway itself and the stations, not working conditions.  The working conditions consist of accidents waiting to happen. And some of them already happened. Once, a controlled blast from the second avenue went out of control, sending pieces of debris high into the sky, some chunks weighing 25 pounds and went soaring up ten stories high.  My problem with the second avenue subway is that the blasting is SO annoying. Why can’t they find more strategies besides using explosives? Maybe invent a faster tunnel boring machine? Blasting is noisy and distracting at school and work and while trying to sleep! Working conditions and blasting casualties aren’t the only problem. MTA has racked up a fine of 61,000 dollars because they violated 18 safety violations. that’s a lot of safety violations. Three more investigations for safety are under way currently. That concludes that we are better off than the workers and I feel sorry for those who work there. I think that MTA should improve safety and working conditions underground.  The second avenue subway has been around for decades and mind you, it’s quite annoying. And dangerous.
