Paranormal Activity 5 is on!

[Domalomadom]

imagine going scuba diving in that station

[imdf98]

Needs zombie rats.

[Ryan Ng]

They probably don't exist because they all have seams between the panes between the doors, but they are supposed to wrap around the entire track to be waterproof

[SUBWAYFLASHER]

And yet not one of those would prevent a station and tunnel flood in the event that millions of gallons of water started pouring in. Why? None of those lines have waterproof platform doors. I don't even think that screen doors which can stop water from entering the tunnel even exist.

[Ryan Ng]

1. London Underground Jubilee Line extension

2. Paris Metro Line 14 (1999)

3. Tokyo Metro Namboku Line

That's about it, I agree with the fact that it actually makes it a little worse.

[SUBWAYFLASHER]

Okay, show me one example.

And even if there were waterproof screen doors at that station, the fact that they were there would have just made the water level in the station even higher, maybe even made the whole thing inaccessible.

[Ryan Ng]

Since 1998.

[freckle facci]

Only Sharks and Lawyers can swim in water that dirty!

[freckle facci]

I can't tell you how many rats were displaced.

[SUBWAYFLASHER]

And you are stupid. Since when were platform screen doors WATERPROOF?

[thisismyname007]

The filth of Saruman is washing away!
