Shocking subway death and more: Letters to the Editor — Oct. 11, 2026

As a long-time straphanger, I was deeply saddened to read about the tragic death of the man exiting an express A train at Brooklyn’s Utica Avenue station (“New Subway Perils,” Nicole Gelinas, PostOpinion, Oct. 6).

According to initial reports, the passenger’s thin plastic bag got stuck in the doors, causing him to be dragged. The train was relatively new and recently inspected, which makes this even more alarming.

The conductor is being investigated for lapses in duty, but the MTA needs to look closely at its door sensors to see why  these doors with latest technology cannot detect thin objects like a plastic bag. What happens when the sleeve of a coat or hem of a dress gets caught?

The MTA needs a 360-degree, preemptive approach to rider safety. Safety has to be its absolute first priority.
