Corazon Dandan
A 74 year old woman died today in the Powell Street BART station in San Francisco. Some street crazy pushed her into the side of the train. She did not fall onto the tracks but did die from her injuries.
The asshole was arrested and may actually be prosecuted. Even in San Francisco there is some modest opposition to killing little old ladies, at least if they are not Jewish. There is excellent surveillance footage of the murder.
The dead woman, Corazon Dandan, was on her way home from work. She had been a telephone operator at the Mariot on Union Square for 40 years. Her assailant is a 49-year old homeless man but he may be prosecuted anyway despite his protected status. The assailant was arrested less than 10 minutes after the attack.
Many BART riders complain that after the sun goes down the BART stations turn into jungles overrun by dangerous crazies. They may be right.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a common occurrence in the subway stations of New York.
