I once had BART break down on my way to the airport, and it was something straight out of a horror movie.

"Okay, so we're stopped. I'm going to get out and manually flip this switch. Then we have three more. Don't worry, I'll get you to the airport soon."

Every single part of my body was screaming "NO THIS IS LIKE A HORROR MOVIE, DON'T GET OUT OF THE TRAIN OR YOU'LL DIE!!!"

Oh, I was on that train. Ended up missing my flight.

Small world. I just happened to have left early enough that it was fine.
