Subway Attack Spooks Moscovites

The
Dowbrigade has always wanted to check out the Moscow subway system, which
has the coolest Subway Map we have seen. After last week’s subway terrorist
attack by Chechen separatists which killed 39, we’re not too sure…..

MOSCOW — As a subway train pulled into a station, the young Russian
woman on the platform peered inside the cars, scanning the faces of passengers
for signs of a threat. She stepped in just as the sliding doors were
about to close.

The deadly bombing in a packed train Friday has spread fear of Moscow’s
long-trusted transportation system, turning the daily routine of riding
the subway into a game of Russian roulette for many Muscovites.
"
I can’t help looking around to check for anybody suspicious," Marina
Shelestova, a 27-year-old office worker said yesterday. "Even though
I think that if I saw a real terrorist, I wouldn’t know it."
