was someone running through the tunnel yesterday?
last night on the way home from work, our train exited the transbay tube and stopped just short of west oakland station. it was probably just after 5:00pm. the TO said something like "someone was discovered running through the tunnel near 12th street. we are holding here until the police catch them." then about two minutes later, he says something about the power being out in the tunnel, but it has been restored and we are clear for takeoff.
i'm not sure if they killed the power so they could bumrush the douche in the tunnel, or if i totally mis-heard his first announcement. anyone got details???
Give the guy a break, you
Give the guy a break, you can't get to that station under the bay if your walking on the bridge.
You didn't mis-hear
You didn't mis-hear anything. Power was killed to the third rail only, lights in tunnel areas remained on. Honestly, wouldn't it have been easier for Central to keep power on the third rail, have the guy fry himself, the collect his body? Naw, just kidding.
But yes, psycho in tunnel area. BART Police are trained to handle those... occurrences... and some other scenarios that people outside of BPD wouldn't even believe.
