A heroic conductor on the transit line in New York City lost his own life but managed to save 9 others in a shocking accident on the subway on Friday (March 27).
An MTA worker was killed and up to 17 others were possibly injured when fire broke out on a subway train near a Harlem station just north of Central Park early Friday, the FDNY said.
"We are devastated by this. This is a hard moment for New York City Transit," said Sarah Feinberg, Interim President of NYCT, at a press conference Friday.
After the fire, the 36-year-old conductor who had helped get people to safety was found on the tracks and pronounced dead at the scene, Deputy Chief Brian McGee said at the press conference Friday.
