On our car, the window on one side was removed and the emergency
personnel floated a small dinghy alongside the train in order to remove
the woman who had the asthma attack earlier. They had room on the boat
and the rescuers said they could take three more passengers, providing
they were female. Are you listening, Gloria Steinem?

they left quickly, and we went back to waiting for rescue. A mildly
disgruntled Russian man decided to remove the large window on the other
side of our car and he actually threw the heavy glass pane into the
water outside. “Hey, let them go look for it in Lake Ontario,” he
huffed.
