Though initially thought to be a power failure, reports released Friday indicated that someone may have pressed an emergency stop button within the MTA.
An investigation into a recent power outage that shut down nearly half of New York City's subway system, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded for hours, revealed that the cause was most likely someone accidentally pressing an"Emergency Power Off" button.
Independent reports released by New York Governor Kathy Hochul provided that accidental activation was likely the culprit for the unprecedented shutdown. Since the incident, the Metropolitan Transit Authority has been slammed with flooding from Hurricane Ida, whose remnants are still posing challenges for the transit system.
"New Yorkers deserve absolute confidence in a fully functioning subway system, and it is our job to restore that confidence," Hochul said in a statement.
