Chaos Of NYC Subway Flooding Bursting Through Walls Caught On TikTok Video
The heavy rainfall that led to flooding across New York City turned one Brooklyn subway station into an impromptu water park.
Tom Schultz posted a video on TikTok, claiming it was Brooklyn’s 7th Avenue station, showing water bursting through the cracks in the tiled wall and drenching anyone nearby.
The tiles along the station’s wall appeared to be bursting as water sprayed through the seams and flowed onto the concrete floor.
This video was captured at the Seventh Avenue subway station, which serves the Q and B trains in Brooklyn, and it was shared at around the same time the Metropolitan Transit Authority warned of “extremely limited” subway service due to severe flooding.
Online, viewers were astounded by the massive amount of water seeping through the station wall.
“I’m no expert, and the subway is full of horrors, but I don’t think that’s supposed to be like that,” one TikTok user commented on the video.
“It looks like the summer sprinklers in the city parks,” another user wrote.
Some were shocked that Schultz remained composed enough to record the scene.
“Bro… run!” one user urged.
“Standing there just watching is crazy,” another person commented.
According to Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine’s post on X (formerly Twitter), every service line operated by the transit authority was disrupted Friday morning due to the city’s excessive rainfall.
Other people in the city shared photos and videos of transit disruptions caused by the chaotic flooding. Between three and five inches of rain were forecast to hit the city on Friday, and by 10:30 a.m., over 5 inches of rain had already fallen in certain areas.
During a Friday press conference, Mayor Eric Adams advised residents to shelter in place and exercise “extreme caution.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency due to flash flooding.
