Newsman: Two people are dead after being run over a subway train in Manhattan Tuesday morning. Police say a 44-year-old man and a 63-year-old woman had been hit by a train shortly before 10:30 Tuesday morning. Police say they know little about why the two, who did not appear to be together, wound up in the path of the first train.
After the first train hit the victims, a source close to the investigation told Eyewitness News two subsequent trains ran over their bodies amid confusion from 911 callers about where the incident had occurred.
Eyewitness News said a new video shows a train pulled into the 6th Avenue L stop, right over two mangled and lifeless bodies. Straphangers rush on and off, walking through pools of blood on the platform. A minute later, the train begins to pull out.
Report said, Sara Lang was on her way to work and says it looked like the bodies had exploded. She took the video because she thought she was hallucinating.
“Everyone’s like constantly going like ‘no one stopped,’ – I told some guy there’s two dead bodies down there, he was like ‘you’re kidding,’ and I was like ‘no, look, you’re stepping in blood,’ and there was like brains and body parts everywhere,” said Sara Lang.
“The way people ignore things like I know us New Yorkers we’re tough, we don’t care a lot about, but it’s sometimes, you know, it takes a little time just to pay attention to something,” she said.
Sources told Eye witness News, the bodies landed in the shadow of the platform, making them invisible to the operators of the next two trains which rolled right over them as Lang stood in shock. Feeling powerless, she says, to stop them.
Police are convinced that someone must have seen this happen, and they are hoping that person comes forward and helps them solve the mystery.
