Sometime late last year while braving a torrential rainstorm on our way to a weekend morning playdate, we arrived at the First Ave L-Train station shortly after a large section of wall had collapsed onto the Brooklyn bound tracks. By the look of things, water had been seeping behind the wall for some time and finally pushed it’s way through. I took a picture with my phone and didn’t think much about it again.

L-Train Station Wall Collapse

I stumbled across that image last night while cleaning out some old files. There was no date. After a lot of Google searching, it seems that no one ever posted anything about this, no news, no blogs, no MTA advisory.

Based on the poster for Lost, I’m guessing the wall fell sometime between August and October of 2004. If you saw it and know the date, let me know.
