Commuters trapped on subway as floodwater surges in NYC

Subway riders were submerged in an unexpected scene when floodwaters at a New York City station seeped into a train car. On Monday, July 14, intense rainfall caused flash floods across the metropolitan area, overwhelming the city's stormwater management system and leading to the subway flooding. Video captured passengers observing the unusual sight as water bubbled onto the platform, prompting the conductor to announce, "I can't open the doors, it's not safe." All passengers involved in the subway flooding incident were reported safe.
