Gee, "Cyber 911" is a really unfortunate buzzword that reduces serious infrastructure attacks to a curious soundbite from a media outlet.
It sounds like Chris Hanson's follow-up Reality TV exposé series, for Dateline, circa 1998 after winning multple awards for To Catch A Predator, in which he further demonstrates the perils of the Information Super Highway.
Living in a building on top of a subway station, I can tell you with confidence that vehicular traffic beneath the foundation of your building does not go unnoticed.
Fifteen floors up, and I can sense the rhythm as it varies theoughout the day, ranging between 5 and 20 minute intervals between trains.
For me, I chose the city life, so I am not voicing a complaint. But I can quickly understand how this could be viewed as obnoxious and disruptive to any variety of domestic residents or commercial occupants.
There are worse things. I've lived next to highways with heavy truck traffic that downshifts loudly, slamming gaps in the pavement with fully loaded tonnage, and emergency vehicles with blaring sirens at all hours.
I've lived next to and over loud sports bars. I've had shitty roommates.
Once, I entertained the idea of taking an apartment with an elevated train directly outside the window, in central Brooklyn. That was my limit. I grabbed dinner at a nearby restaurant, and hung out during rush hour, just to test it out. Knowing that assuredly trains would also be running at all hours of the night, seven days a week. Ten heavy trains rattled the dishes and silverware on my table, during that hour, while I sat and ate my dinner.
Digging myself the fuck out of multiple compound interest debt traps, multiple times, while generally managing to subsist and have what I'm reluctant to refer to as "A Life."
