    2:34 You're lucky those third rail sparks wasn't popping off with you being so close. Definitely not a good spot. take a selfie 🤳 stick with you next time to capture it from a safe distance, those electrical currents could do a variety of facial damage even setting your clothes on fire. 😅

      Yes, I pray no one ends up as down bad as I was, when I risked my life for this pointless recording. But, I know someone will be that down bad, so I can just pray again they don’t do the same dumb shit. I had nothing to live for, until I found God. Might sound dumb, but when you get so low, and there’s no lower to go, you have no choice but to look up. So I pray again, that my pain, bad choices, and absolute luck, might be learned by someone who may be heading down the same path

      I agree, i grew up in Philadelphia their are many safety stairways along the Broad Street line, but crawling under the platform! Ut ah! Their are some fat ass Sewer Rats dwelling down there! And trust me, the City does a whole lot better at keeping the stations and platforms clean. In the 70's and early 80's the Broad Street Line was so neglected and under maintained, it wasn't even funny, not to mention it ran the largest fleet of Pre- Depression, Pre - War Subway Cars of any City in North America.
