Subway Flooded by Bursting Water Main Panic in NYC Subway
A 48 inch water main burst at Park Avenue and Forty first street halted all express service and closed lines from Grand Central north and Fourteenth Street south. Water filled the tunnels for hours as passengers waded through eighteen inches of flood to stations. Officials struggled to locate shutoffs, pumps operated, and a car derailment added to closures. Property damage occurred along Park Avenue, with the Hotel Belmont construction quick to reduce losses.
