"The horrifying scene was filmed by an MTA security camera and captured the 23-year-old man’s final moments..."

"... which were later uploaded to Facebook for the world to see. The NYPD said it is investigating who posted the shots."

At first glance I read MTA as MBTA.

"Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?"

Speaking of signs, that's one huge difference I noticed when I used to live in Liberia. Here we have writing everywhere on everything. Warnings all over the place. Just everywhere. Over there, not so much. In a way, it was nicer not to have all that verbal pollution cluttering things up. There might be a downside, too.; 10/8/14, 1:22 PM
