XN: Hammer Time

Where’s that crime at?

ASS: Assorted Subway Shenanigans
As we all know, the NYC subway system is about to undergo a complete financial collapse. Unless the feds step in (which is definitely not going to happen until next February at the least) service across the board will likely be cut forty to fifty percent.

Comically, the transit workers union is against all cuts. Listen I’m against earthquakes but that doesn’t mean I can stop them. The simple fact is that labor is a huge cost at the MTA that needs to be cut. Two person crews on all these subway lines, some of which have new signal systems that would allow for completely automated train operations, is just ridiculous in 2020.

The 7 Line Window Smasher is still at it. From the latest media reports, it seems clear that he’s hitting trains as they pass through L.I.C. This footage of the perp appears to show him entering at Court Square.

That New Tunnel… Smell?
Up in Vancouver, work on a new eight lane road tunnel may soon begin, after years of flip flops between building a new bridge or a tunnel.

The Swiss are planning a massive freight tunnel network and holy shit. Like really hollllllly shit. This is a very ambitious plan that could lead to decades of exploring possibilities.

China seems very proud of this new tunnel they’re building, despite all the obstacles that keep popping up.

ACAB & Co.
A Fascist was murdered in Portland last weekend and, well, an eye for an eye I say.

Also, Tucker Carlson is the new Osama Bin Laden. Prove me wrong.

Short Shorts
Two weeks ago Youngstown, Ohio was trying to save an abandoned McDonalds. This last week, they demolished an ‘abandoned’ building that honestly didn’t look like it was in any danger of immediate collapse. Sounds like this town has got to get it’s priorities in order and maybe take a good look into the fire chief and his potential shady dealings.

Donald ‘The Nazi’ Trump’s former Atlantic City casino is indeed going to be blown up next spring. a fitting end to a symbol of bullshit con man antics.

Weadock power plant has finally met it’s demise, with it’s remains imploded last week.

A big abandoned church in Augusta recently sold. It’s not entirely clear what will become of this joint.

Bando BBQ
Holy shit cops in Utah actually arrested a ‘bando arsonist. Someone must have been desperate for an OT paycheck bump!

A secluded, abandoned house in Maine burned and collapsed before firefighters arrived on the scene.

International Update
Periodic reminder that North Korea is dominating the paranoid bunker life challenge.

An abandoned air force base in NIGERIA is a haven for crime. Who would have ever thought that might happen?

The India Pakistan border is another hotbed for (ill)legal tunnels.

Ireland might be tiny but like any other country, we’ve got our far flung, desolate areas. This one includes an abandoned schoolhouse.

And that’s a Wrap:
People who say NYC is a crime infested hell hole clearly did not survive 1980s and 1990s NYC. These people are pussies. Though I do kinda miss carrying a hammer in my messenger bag. As a dude in one of my high school classes said, ‘man you’re fucked up—anyone can shoot someone, it takes a sick motherfucker to smash them to death’.

Comments

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.

    Hey fag, your hero who killed the “fascist “ is now in the morgue, burning in hell. You are some piece of shit, can’t wait until you get run over by a train while your scurrying around a tunnel you pussy rat

    LOL that’s a lot of tough talk from an absolute fucking LOSER nazi piece of shit who would absolutely never have the balls to say that to anyone’s face. After tracing your internet connection I am 100% not surprised about your identity. Cowards that never run track but love to run their mouths are pure comedy.

    As I always say: if you don’t like my POV, don’t come to this site. Literally no one is forcing you to read any of this.
