Thank goodness it wasn't a real emergency.

Some kind of signal problem shut down the entire PATH line. After sitting in the tunnel for awhile, they finally dumped us out at Christopher Street. I was at the far end of the platform from the stairs. It took over 20 minutes to actually make it out to the street. I don't think I'd realized how must more densely you can pack a train than will fit in the platform. People were taking pictures of the crush with their phones. 15 minutes in, another train slowly pulled into the station and suddenly everyone started shuffling faster in an attempt to get out before even more people were dumped onto the platform. The train just slowly cruised on by, though. I wonder where the poor people on that train endeded up.

40 minutes late to work, of course.
