Fans collapse at overcrowded station

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Mass Transit Super Bowl lived up to its name on Super Bowl Sunday, with a record 27,800 riders transported to MetLife Stadium via New Jersey Transit trains as of 5:56 p.m.
The turnout was felt at Secaucus Junction where several people collapsed while waiting in long lines. Emergency medical workers were forced to push their way through the overheated crowd to treat people at the New Jersey train station. The long lines caused a standstill in front of airport-style security machines that could not handle the crowd volume. People were squeezed together in an enclosed stairwell. LINK

This never happens at any other super bowl or major sporting or large crowd event.
Still bitter about the good weather I see.

I seriously hate people who can't take care of themselves enough to be able to attend a day-long event without passing out.

NJ Transit is so broken that Met life stadium is asking people to stay because trains are totally swamped.

The media wore the shite out of ice falling from Cowboy Stadium, but you've barely heard about this major frick up.

No wonder the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff was so worried.

This may be news to some, but the NFL does not run New Jersey Transit. The NFL executed its event splendidly.
