"A
cliff-hanger." – The New Yorker.
"Harrowing,
terrifying, and so, so good." – Business Week.
THIS AFTERNOON IN NEW
YORK CITY, AFTER A SUBWAY TRAIN LEFT THE PELHAM STATION AT 1:23 P.M., THE
EVENTS OF THE DAY TOOK A TERRIFYING DETOUR…
“You will all remain
seated. Anyone who tries to get up, or even moves, will be shot. There will be
no further warning. If you move you will be killed…”
Four men, armed with
submachine guns, have seized a New York City subway train, holding all
seventeen passengers – and the entire city – hostage.
The identities of the
hijackers are unknown.
Their demands seem
impossible.
Their threats are real.
Their escape seems
inconceivable.
Only
one thing is certain: they aren’t stopping for anything.
