Fixing NYC's subway after Sandy

A view of New York City's South Ferry and Whitehall Street Subway station after storm surge from superstorm Sandy flooded the station.

Despite precautionary measures taken, including blocking off subway entrances and shutting down mass transit, the damage to NYC's subway system was widespread. All 10 tunnels in lower Manhattan, which connect the borough to Brooklyn and parts of Queens were flooded in what MTA chairman Joe Lhota told WCBS-TV was the "most devastating" event in the history of the system.
