Passenger door6/19/2023 It’s at that moment that this man came up behind him and grabbed him by the neck, and I think - I didn’t see, but I think - that move of grabbing him by the neck also led him to grab Neely by the legs with his own. When did you see the man who restrained him? He kept standing there and he kept yelling. At that moment, when he threw the jacket, the people who were sitting around him stood up and moved away. You could hear the sound of the zipper hitting the floor. He bundled it up and just threw it on the floor, very violently. And then I heard him take off his jacket. I tried to start filming from that moment, but I didn’t because I couldn’t see anything - it was too crowded. From what I understood, he was yelling that he was tired, that he didn’t care about going to jail. And he stood in the middle of the train car, and then he started yelling that he didn’t have food, that he didn’t have water. The irony that I’d mistakenly swapped cars and the irony that if he’d gotten there a single second later, the door would have closed and he wouldn’t have gotten in.īut he stopped the door from closing and he got on the train. The door was just about to close - three, five inches away from closing - when Jordan stuck his hand between them. ![]() We stopped at Second Ave., and I saw someone running toward the doors. If I’d gotten it right, I would’ve been at the back of the train and I wouldn’t have seen anything. But it turns out I was wrong - the stairs are closest at the back. So, on this occasion, working off the idea that I should be at the front, I moved train cars at every stop to make my way there. But I get confused about whether I should be at the front or back of the F train to be closest. I’ve made that transfer at Lafayette various times, and I know the stairs to the 6 are on one end of the platform. So when did you first notice that something was going on?Īctually, something really curious happened. Right at Broadway-Lafayette, where everything took place, is where I was going to switch trains to get on the 6 and go to Grand Central and head up to Yonkers.

You probably don’t have to make the effort after every wash, but perhaps each time you wax - which we recommend as often as quarterly.įailing that, pick a time at least once a year that makes sense for your climate and usage - such as after autumn drops leaves and needles on your car, or during the rainy season when water is flowing through your car’s unseen drainage channels carrying dirt and debris.Ĭars.com’s Editorial department is your source for automotive news and reviews. You can poke into the holes with a coat hanger, screwdriver or similar object to clean out any grime and debris, but take care not to scratch the paint around the drain, which protects metal parts from rust. One solution is to get down on the ground on your hands and knees and take the time to make sure each drain is clear of any material that may have built up. In addition, some vehicles fall victim to rust because they have too few drain holes or small ones that are easily clogged and require frequent draining either with water or some other cleaner.Ĭhecking these drain holes is not typically included in a professional hand car wash or car detailing, but it is something an owner can ask to have looked at. High-pressure car washes (or a carefully aimed hose in your driveway) can clean debris from some drain holes, but cars that seldom see the inside of a car wash or spend most of their lives in dirty environments can be prone to clogged drain holes and accumulated moisture. (Factory rustproofing is generally all your car needs.) Ironically, one of the risks of aftermarket rustproofing treatments - such as the type dealers charge extra for - is that they can clog drainage holes if applied improperly. Most vehicles also have drain holes in the rocker panels and rear quarter panels (the body section behind the doors of your car or truck) and other places that can clog, trap water and cause corrosion.

However, those holes in the bottom of the doors can get clogged by dirt or gravel and road debris - and when that happens, water accumulates inside the door and causes rust. ![]() Why do you need to check the drain holes in your car doors? Because water can get past window seals and inside the doors when it rains or when you wash your car, and the water is supposed to exit through drain holes at the bottom.
