I know I’m not the only one with a fascination for emergency cords levers, switches and whatnot. Just by human nature we want to do all the things we’re told we’re not allowed to. Though this sort of thing is definitely on the list of things I want to do before I die. Well, I don’t have an actual list like that but I’d really liked to pull some emergency switches in my lifetime. I think the ones in particular I want to do are break the glass with the little hammer and pull the fire alarm which has the little glass bar that gets broken when it’s pulled. The emergency brake in the subway has numerous situations when you’re not supposed to pull it, but there’s no sign saying when it’s all right to do it. I guess it’s up to us to imagine major extenuating circumstances that would require that sort of thing.
