Video of the Day: A platform glides by

by Benjamin Kabak

Via Sarah Kaufman on Twitter comes this mesmerizing video. Shot on high-speed aboard a train at Bath Spa in Britain, this video captures the essence of a platform as a train slides by. The train was moving at around 35 miles per hour as the video was shot, and the people are frozen in time, watching and waiting to begin their commutes. For more on the video, check out the videographer’s explanation. I’d love to see this reproduced on board a New York City subway car. Imagine the looks on people’s faces as a 2 train slides into Times Square.

Yes. And technologically impresive as well. Almost appears to have been shot and presented in 3D.

Hmmm, interesting. How about Metro-North, LIRR or NJ Transit? On second thaught, scrap NJ Transit. Chriss Christie would react with the same dislike that he has for New York State. Check the local news reguarding the Tapan Zee Bridge being put into the PA’s hands to speed up the reconstruction process. Christie went absolutely apeshit.

isn’t the MTA going to make a very large sum of money off this transaction?
