Bloomberg-Blizzard Lawsuits Begin

Last Monday, December 27, passengers on a A train in Queens were stranded for seven hours in the wake of the blizzard.

Now, a Manhattan lawyer representing some of those stuck on that train is suing the MTA over the incident.

�I really wish that the MTA had been fair with these people, had been prepared,� says Manhattan attorney Aymen Aboushi.

Aboushi, who grew up in Brooklyn and says he still rides the A train, wants the MTA to come up with a plan to prevent this from happening again.

Aboushi says, �The MTA, once they were stuck, didn�t afford them any water, any supplies, any food. There was no heating and you have to keep in mind that this train was above ground. It�s not like they had to dig deep in the tunnel to get to it.�

Aboushi says it was a hostile and unsanitary environment, with people�s limbs becoming limb and some having to relieve themselves in between train cars.

The MTA has not returned a call for comment.
