A 31-year-old Bronx man fell to his death yesterday while defecating between subway cars on a moving 6 train, cops said. Sorry :X

When you gotta go and there's no bathroom in sight (NYC Is famous for its lack of public restrooms), I guess the subway tunnel may be your only option. However, I'd make sure another train isn't coming in the opposite direction before you drop your trousers.

What a confusing article, it sounds like there was another guy who was down on the tracks at about the same time too?!

Sounds like he was actually on a moving train and went out the door between cars to do his business, then fell and got run over...
EDIT: spelling

No great shakes. This is the 6 train we're talking about. Now, if he was playing an accordion while doing it....
The Tres Caballeros. They laid off the fourth guy because of the New Depression (honest!)

Poochies,
Even if the subway car had a bathroom, likely, it'd be no better than the ones on the LIRR cars. To say they are disgusting is an understatement.

From the article:
"Riding or moving between subway cars is prohibited."
Ahhh. So the sign specifically says that moving (your bowels) between subway cars is prohibited. He should've read the sign!
In the 80's people smoked between cars. Heck, in the 80's people smoked IN THE CARS. It was the wild west back then.
A few months ago I saw someone get up to use the restroom in an LIRR car. He comes back with a cup of water. WTF. Was he THAT thirsty?!

Why the heck can't we expect clean restrooms?
We spend money on stupid $hit like Iraq and you can't use a public facility on a train YOU paid for!

Some people think they have a right to walk in Central Park - even at night!
The nerve...

200+ people die on the NYC subway system every year. Obviously, the subways are too dangerous and need more regulation. How about background checks on those subways before we let people ride on them. It doesn't take ten pushes to push someone in front of a train.
