In New York, almost 700 people spent several hours in a blocked subway car. The incident occurred on Saturday night, according to the city fire department.
The train stopped moving at 01.45 local time. Rescuers managed to normalize the situation only by three o’clock in the morning.
Most of the passengers were returning home after the Chris Brown and Usher concert. The event took place at Metlife Stadium, which is located in the neighboring state of New Jersey.
The metro explained the delay in traffic due to problems with power supply. Due to the lack of working air conditioning systems, the carriages were stuffy and humid, as noted in videos published by eyewitnesses on social networks. That evening the air temperature in the city exceeded 25 degrees Celsius.
