Bomb threat in Newyork

Friday evening, When I was about to start home...I heard the news from CNN that there was a bomb threat in NYC subway and they closed all the '1' train from 34th to 90th street. I came out and searched for a cab. There was one other american woman who is also waiting for the cab. She found one Cab and since she knew that we (Myself and Friend) were also going for Penn station, she asked us to join with her. We went with a thanking smiling face but the cab driver didn't like the idea and he immediately took the car leaving all three of us. (It was a black cab and they should not take people in NY streets like that it seems. That guy wanted to make some quick money and he didn't like the idea of three people sharing the cab for 10$. That American woman explained the logic to me!) I felt very sorry for her and apologised for inconvenience. She told 'Don't worry about that!'.
Finally we got a cab, Shared it and travelled together exchanging our business cards. NY penn station is full of Cops and people. Our train was waiting for us. We got into the train happily...yup, it was friday right?!
