Quelal Bonergy, a 47 year-old Bronx man, threw nuts and bolts onto subway tracks, which causing not only an explosion and fire on the F-train's third rail in Greenwich Village but caused the A, D, E, and F trains to go into confusion. Over a thousand riders were evacuated from the smoky subways and service wasn't back to normal until 11PM. , The Daily News says Bonergy was "apparently deranged," and clearly the DN needs to protect themselves from libel and slander, but the guy better be deranged or else angry commuters will shout for his head. Hell, they already demanding his head as it is.
WNBC has video footage from students on one of the trains. Gothamist is thankful no one was seriously hurt - subway attacks are definitely a fear in every subway rider's mind.

does anyone have a first hand account of being on the train?
My partner and I were on the F train. The smoke wasn't as bad for us as the pictures show.

The thing that most disturbed me was that we were stuck on the subway for two hours, with regular "the NYPD and NYFD are coming" announcements for the last hour.
What if something worse had happened in the subway? Are we really that incapable of dealing with evacuating the subways?
