Today, 7 train riders deserve our pity. The NYC Office of Emergency Management explained, "Due to mechanical problems, 7 train suspended in both directions btw Times Square-42 St, MN & Queensboro Plaza, QN." Naturally, riders were pissed.
Foiled by the 7 train...again. #fumta

Although, props to one person for finding the bright side!
