Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Sat Jan 29 23:37:03 2011, in response to Re: Time to put this myth to rest Was: 76st what happened?, posted by tunnelrat on Sat Jan 29 23:14:03 2011. What did he leave out? Were there even more outlandish claims? Did you see how the claims he left in were evaluated at the time? Your credibility was shot with the community here before you even bought a computer:Posted by David Pirmann - Web Site Host on Fri Jan 10 15:11:15 2003 Dontcha know that engineers who screw up ALWAYS commit suicide? (Sinking Library Syndrome). Seriously, that part reeked of urban legend to me; it casts a bad light on the rest of the story. I'm with Sparky, show us the pictures.... Posted by Paul Matus on Fri Jan 10 13:42:20 2003 THe BkEgl has a full-page story in 1916? Give us a date. This would be an easy one to check, Doug. [It was, of course, never found.] Posted by Paul Matus on Sat Jan 11 00:01:45 2003 I wrote to Joe Brennan, who said: "This was the IRT tunnel heading, not station, into 4 Ave off the present day IRT line. Very dramatic here. Not an error, a change of plans by the PSC. "I guess the rest of this is as accurate." Posted by jt_bklyn on Fri Jan 10 14:01:56 2003 One more thing - a 600 foot subway tunnel under Bedford Ave?? Sorry, I don't buy that either. I know that there a pieces of tunnel beneath other lines with the intention to be built (like at the IND Utica Ave) but 600 feet is 3 blocks - I've also never heard of any plan to build any subway under Bedford Ave, esp. the IND (since it is claimed to be below the G line). I am thinking that this post is mostly legend.... Posted by Peter Rosa on Fri Jan 10 15:06:39 2003 Hmmmm .... Steve Krokowski? Sounds a little too much like "crock," if you catch my drift. Posted by J-TrainTony on Fri Jan 10 20:19:14 2003 Whether 76th St. or the BMT Pacific St. or any of that stuff exists or not, I don't know, I have no proof either way. I will tell you one fact, however- all of that post is complete hearsay. Think about it- BMTman is posting a letter form someone else, with no signature or proof that Steve wrote it. In fact, one can't contact Steve without going through BMTman. Also, in this letter from someone else, all the pieces of information are all told to Steve by unnamed people. "Eyewitness accounts" are not eyewitness accounts if unnamed person A tells person B who tells person C. Person C has NOT received an eyewitness account, he has received hearsay. An eyewitness account is if person A tells person C what he saw. I am sorry, I am not calling anyone a liar, or saying that BMTman is purposely presenting untruths, or Steve, for that matter. Number one, because Steve didn't present it, BMTman did, so no one can challenge it. It's all third and fourth hand information. In a court of law, all of that post would be dismissed as complete lack of any hard evidence. Actually, to be honest, rather than clearing up any doubts, it solidified my doubts. In all due respect, I will no longer even discuss 76th St. with any of you, because now we have entered the realm of UFO talk. All the "proof" is based on hearsay, uttered by people that "can't be named". Again, I'm very sorry, but this is beyond silly. Posted by American Pig on Fri Jan 10 21:37:21 2003 The fact that you called it a "myth" says something about how truthful this all is. |
