Guys, when raging, especially in a place like NYC, plan ahead, and always try to have at least one in your group that acts like a Designated Driver.
A young lady, that was separated from her friends early Jan 1 morning, ended up lying down on the tracks at Penn Station, inexplicably. She was struck and killed by a No. 2 train.

Very sad, but also very avoidable. Play smart and safe everyone.

I heard yesterday from a younger friend that knew her. But it has been on PT as well, I also just saw a thread on /r/Phish on Reddit that seems to actually be started by one of the friends she was partying with. Tragic.

ive been pretty far out there, but i dont think ive ever let myself go far enough into not being able to tell that train tracks are not to lay down on. this is a tragedy and my heart goes out to the loved ones affected by this but you need to know how to party inside the limits of death.

She was split up from her friends, and in one way or another had obviously lost her hold on reality that morning.

considering how much people are partying on tour I'm always shocked we don't see MORE of these types of things. It's a total tragedy, but it is avoidable, you have to know your limits and don't ever lose anyone in your crew. Ever. Never. EVER.

Another biscovictim- very sad, sorry to her friends and family.

That is too sad. I was on the 2 down in the financial district trying to get to 14th and it took almost an hour. We were told the train was stopping about 3 stops from 14th and some guy asked the conductor if we could at least get to 14th.
I feel terrible for her and everyone in that station during that time.

When I toured with GD, there was always at least one show/tour tragedy. During the summer '84 tour, one of the rainbow buses went into a ditch killing a deadhead (Paul) that had asked my crew for a ride after the starlight theatre show. I had no idea one of my friends had told him there was no room in my truck and to check the tour buses. I found out on the way to the Iowa show. They dedicated He's Gone to him second set cedar rapids. Listen to the archive org recording and you can hear Phil's dedication.
This was just one of many stories I heard throughout the '80s.
It's a terrible tragedy that can be prevented in the future if we make sure all our friends make it home safe.
My heart sincerely goes out to her friends and family.

RIP fanner.Another reminder to always try to be present, and take care of ourselves and each other.

The only silver lining I see is that I hope she had a great time and a great night with her friends and Phish/Biscoes before she died. Not a bad last night to have if you've gotta go....Godspeed, phriend.
