On the one hand, we all should all be grateful that mass transit is, for the most part, up and running throughout NYC after Hurricane Sandy shut everything down for quite awhile. Were either the Jets or Giants home this weekend (which...they're not), you wouldn't have to worry about shuttles or cars or any such impositions getting to the stadium. On the other hand, the above photo, which was sent to NBC, is one more reminder that hell is a very real place on Earth, and it's located in Penn Station.
And it's not just the waiting area, as you can see in these other pictures. But don't worry commuters, because Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we we we are gonna have a good time.
