To Owen - those are apparently guardrails or chassises for the gurneys. go look at pictures of gurneys elsewhere on the site, you'll see what I mean

this is a tragic story that someone must know the truth to. Paul Ramos Jr. must rest peacefully

I wonder how many people got scared when they walked in the room and discovered this window!

Which of the buildings was this in?

This is the only site that shows this melted window. Awesome pic. Creppy as hell.

i believe in ghosts but i don't think this is one. the shape is too geometrical for a hat of the 1940's and if there's a face it must hide right behind this light beam or what it is and the wall of the room the "person" stands in. the eyes they wanted to see are just spots of the comb-shaped window pattern in the foreground. i think it's a frightning coincidence of dark things and shadows in front of the light background.
nonetheless, walking this place, taking pictures thinking you're alone and back home, seeing the shots of the day and on the first sight there's "someone" standing there watching must be kinda creepy, no?

jerry what happened to that little boy? was he pushed or did he really fall?
you must know

By that I meant that the painters who usually paint weren't doing their job, so the subway cars and their paint would have crumbled more than they did, had it not been for the spraypaint.

The graffiti may actually help to preserve the paint underneath it, by serving as an extra layer of paint. I suspect that the NYC subway trains lasted a little longer when the subways were in the doldrums than they otherwise would have - because graffiti vandals were the principal folks doing the painting.

Reminds me of a part of Half-Life Episode 1, where you are avoiding shots from some flying alien craft.

wow i don't even know what to say that's just really really creepy holy carp. sooooooo creepy.

i went there yesterday 1/20/08 and its still up!

I agree with V Vela, were any of these beautiful carvings, etc saved, I mean, even with a fire, those stone ornaments (probably marble altar) could have been rescued.

another victim of the headless horseman

This is a great shot of the floor tiling, how intricate! Is that long thing on the wall a pull down screen perhaps?

is it just me or is there someone standing in the back

it looks like he is holding the white thing like a lantern... idk
