I cant believe how busy they were. There is graffiti on every column, beside the tracks, above the tracks, even above the third rail, a deadly high voltage and Officials Say that could have happened because the electricity was on all weekend when the taggers likely entered the station through the tracks, took out their paint cans and brushes and did their damage. This station was very well put together and today, looks like new york.
