Hurricane Sandy: New York City Subways Hit with Worst Disaster in 108 Years

A surveillance camera captured the PATH station right before it was flooded.

Hurricane Sandy swept over NYC just the other day, flooding many streets as well as all 10 subway tunnels between Manhattan and Brooklyn. All 10 were underwater during the storm. MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota said the 108-year-old subway system "has never faced a disaster as devastating as what we experienced last night."  The photo above was taken by a surveillance camera right before the PATH station was completely flooded. Authorities say it is not clear how long it will take to repair and return the tunnels to working order since workers will have to inspect every mile of tunnel that was flooded, a daunting several hundred miles. The big question being asked is "With a city build on public transportation, how will it run when its out of commission?". Many people no doubt will have trouble getting to work now that the subways are flooded and power outages plague  the city. Hopefully, workers will be able to get the subways back up and running soon.
