No, not always. But there was 1) The Lavon Affair and 2) The USS Liberty incident. So, not without precedent. I'd certainly buy that long before the 911 Commission Report. But, sheeple are sheeple and I digress.

It was the Tri-Lateral Commission! Wait, it was the Illumanati. Oops, forgot it was the Freemasons. Dang it, wasn't it really Skull and Bones? You know, the Yalie Bush's are tight with the Saudi's. I just can't keep up.

Right, as if thousands of architects and engineers aren?t equally skeptical. As if 19 Muslim ?terrorists? managed to hijack four US airliners, using box cutters, and hit 3 of the 4 intended targets, without any interference from NORAD. As if the plane that went down in Shanksville, thanks to the heroics of one Todd "Beamer," and the one that hit the pentagon simply vaporized upon impact, lol. As if towers 1 and 2 could collapse in pancake fashion from fire stoked by jet fuel. Anyway, it is indeed an outrage about the retractable roof.

Just to further stoke the outrage of my fellow PA haters at the unconscionable filthy lucre and largesse on display at the WTC, yesterday it was announced that the skylight in the center of the train station's oculus will be retractable and will open annually for the anniversary of Score09's demented conspiracy fantasies:

The Port Authority Bus Terminal will be moved to Secaucus, NJ. The land it currently occupies in Manhattan will be redeveloped to pay entirely for the construction of the new terminal and improved rail access to Secaucus. Several Hudson County bus routes will still continue on to New York and make local stops along one of the avenues. You've heard it first!
In the distant future, the NYC Transit 7 line may be extended to Secaucus, too.

The new WTC also received massive damage during Sandy. Lots of switchgear and fuel cells were destroyed by the flooding. The PA had everything removed to a hanger in JFK so the equipment could be pieced through to see what was salvageable.
I was never really for putting a fancy new terminal in WTC. I would have been thrilled to just have a utilitarian, but functional station that could handle a lot of people. I would have rather have seen money put towards something like running the PATH up 2nd Ave or extending PATH service to all three airports. Or maybe just accelerate the signal upgrade project. The PA however, is a political body beholden to two governors and the interests that back them. Decisions are often not what the public needs but instead, what the power that be want. I think a question we should be asking is it really necessary for the Port Authority to exist? Does a semi-government run agency really need to be in charge of ports, bridges, tunnels, airports, real estate development, and the PATH train?

Yes the new terminal is really bad, the escalators with the repeat safety announcements are painfully annoying, and it's the biggest waste of space I think I have literally ever seen when exactly one block away is another brand new subway terminal -- we really couldn't have just piggybacked on that one and saved a ton of $$$ to be put towards signal repairs and track maintenance? Path needs to be taken away from Port Authority ASAP.

The new terminal, alas, is uninviting and just wants to make you get to street level quick. A enormous waste of money. And whats to be said of that enormous ribbed carcass at street level that reminds you of a leftover turkey on Thanksgiving day.

?..."Derp derp derp Lets spend unnecessary millions on the WTC station and make it literally a white marble palace! Yes every surface must be made of the most expensive materials we can find and be GLEAMING SPOTLESS WHITE! Who cares how much it will cost or even if riders WANTED a marble palace? Who cares that now we need to employ teams of workers who's sole job will be to wipe down every surface 24/7 so that the dirt won't show? An underground train station in New York should be EASY to keep clean, right? And it probably won't take too long to build, right? Oh we have cost and schedule overruns? I wonder why that happened? Oh well I still get paid to come up with these ideas and the riders won't mind if their transit fares go up dramatically to cover the unnecessary costs we added to this bloated project. I bet they won't mind the outrageous juxtaposition of silk vest wearing butlers cleaning constantly and gun toting soldiers dressed for combat loitering around doing absolutely nothing but projecting menace"??.

Oh...so justified is the ineptitude? On account of Sept. 11, 2001? Pardon me, but who are you? Regardless, the mysterious circumstances surrounding the collapse of building number 7 (and I swear if I see the word "conspiracy" bandied about hereafter, I'm tearing it up) and the obvious fact that the 9/11 massacre was indeed planned and executed as a "false flag" precursor to a land grab (et al) in the name of oil, gives pause to anyone who might come on this board and attempt to justify or rationalize the obvious. It, the Port Authority, is a corrupt behemoth and it needs to go away, forever. What are you, an accountant or just another Port Authority astro turfer?

Also if you follow the path tweets you also know that they have delays due to signal failure/car issues daily. Where did all that money go, what was it $1 increase per fare and they still claim to have these issues?

I think there is another thread on this topic but as far as I'm concerned, there should be twenty plus such threads at the top of the board everyday! Recently, I sat for 40 plus minutes waiting on train at 33rd Street. Got to the packed, standing-room-only 33rd Street station at midnight where the temperature was 100 hundred degrees, didn't get to Grove until 1. It is a money-grabbing Leviathan that just sucks away at the public's money, all day and night, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Despite all that money, it still can't figure out how to shuttle people back and fourth across the river more expeditiously. Just a total scam.

Raping people daily hand over fist @ $14 each thru the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels, yet the PATH terminal at JSQ is falling apart with rotten wood handrails and filthy assed platforms.
What a delight this private agency is.

I think it's pretty cool but nowhere near $4 billion cool. Although given its temperature, it sounds like "cool" is the last word that should be used to describe it.

The platform at the new WTC station is hotter than Hades. Be sure to bring water if you'll be waiting longer th as n 15 mins! Haha.
In all honesty, who would taka the temporary station back in a heartbeat with additional service and/or an underground walkway to Fulton??? What a waste. It's not even that nice.

I originally just assumed the PA would eventually sell advertising on them, as that's the natural thing to do. But knowing the PA, that may not be a very safe assumption.

Glad to see that some people could actually understand my prior post that seems to have gotten FAB all riled up and his panties in a bunch. Of course, I was being facetious about the original comment from our resident nutter that these billboard frames are taking up a lot of space, in light of the space they actually consume given their width and depth.
In any case, I have to assume that they will use the space to sell advertisement at some point. Until then, it makes sense to use them for the PSA-type posters they keep putting in cars (be courteous, the one about the ominous box left behind, etc.) Truth be told, I was not happy to see them when they first popped up, but they really aren't a big deal.

Agreed with you on both counts, but if they're going to put those stupid billboards in taking up some space, they could at least sell advertising on them instead. Where is Teddy these days, BTW? I haven't seen him in at least six months, maybe longer.

If someone is wearing an oversized backpack on the train 8/10 times it's an Indian male. That's the reality. PATH needs to do s better job of drawing attention to this problem as some people are oblivious to how inconsiderate it is.
