Best explanation I've read so far: http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/w7ht6/its_hard_to_imagine_a_context_that_would_make/c5b14f9

[–]hindsightlurker 11 points12 points ago

comforting

[–]stinkypants -2 points-1 points ago

Also maybe they're bunched up together like that for warmth. Also repost.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

so why is one of them hanging upside down like a bat?

[–]MediocreChief 5 points6 points ago

From what I read in the other threads, that theory still doesn't add up. Someone linked to this video in this thread of a very similar looking train, with dead bodies in it. (the blue train opposite side, halfway through the video)

The feet sticking straight up in the air, the pair of legs just sitting there in the forefront, the missing window, the water or blood, the photo takes place in the same metro, and likely popped up on the internet after the bombing occurred.

I think it's either (one way or the other) a faked aftermath photo, or the real deal.

edit: well I somehow missed the guy just laying on the seat under the missing window, so, I dunno, maybe it is just a bunch of pissed up bums. Just seems fishy to me.

edit 2: HERE'S some photos of the train after the explosion.

[–]Shangheli 97 points98 points ago

I think it's either (one way or the other) a faked aftermath photo, or the real deal.

So it's either real or fake. Thanks detective.

[–]eamantite 2 points3 points ago

This myth: PLAUSIBLE.

Well no shit, that's why we asked.

[–]TheRealBramtyr 5 points6 points ago

A bomb certainly didn't go off in that train car. the seat upholstery is completely untouched, that would be the first sign of any sort of blast. Just sleeping bums on a soggy train car floor.

[–]MediocreChief 1 point2 points ago

The cushioning is missing from the corner of the seat in the front right of the photo, assuming that's another seat.

[–]nerkbot 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't look like a bomb went off in that car, but it is very clearly damaged by something. The entire right wall is bowed in, the window is blown out and the door is damaged. The seats on the right are bent out of alignment. On the other hand it definitely looks like water on the floor and not blood.

[–]TheRealBramtyr 0 points1 point ago

If the car looks like shit, could just be explained as "because Russia"

[–]Rockiroad278 2 points3 points ago

One thing that confuses me about the picture is the pair of legs with no body. There's a shoe attached, but there's nothing filling the other pant leg that's folded under. I can't decide what it is.

[–]MediocreChief 1 point2 points ago

Maybe just be a bag and a shoe, if the whole body was missing you'de expect to see a lot more blood and gore.

[–]The_Decoy 0 points1 point ago

Since at least one person is naked in would imagine they took off their pants in a drunken manner and that was the result.

[–]RichardGG 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, the video seems to be of the 2nd 2010 Moscow bombing at Park Kultury. I definitely think that's water in the picture though. Could it be during the clean up? Those definitely don't look like normal ways to sleep...

Edit: Maybe it is blood, hard to tell. Strongly think this is part of the bombing.

[–]Leetzers 2 points3 points ago

The train car is warped. Windows on the right looks blown out and this is in Moscow. Could be the Moscow metro bombings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Moscow_Metro_bombings

[–]hotbox4u 0 points1 point ago

thats a good explanation but i still dont get the guy on the far right with his naked feed high up in the air.

[–]NWVoS 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone else see the legs with no body? The first set in black pants. Clearly looks like legs and a shoe.

[–]legendworking -1 points0 points ago

http://xomonroexo.tumblr.com/post/16512429949/a-young-russian-woman-poses-happily-and-calmly-in

This claims it was part of the 2010 Metro bombings

[–]Gramma42ton 18 points19 points ago

I am sure it's not from the 2010 metro bombings.

I can tell by how the metro isn't bombed.

[–]thedirtyrussian 1 point2 points ago

I'm not sure what to think of the music along with it?

[–]kidneysforsale 0 points1 point ago

The fuck... opening that picture in RES makes the music from the tumblr start and THERE'S NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF BUT REFRESH. FUCK THAT.

[–]CellularBeing 16 points17 points ago

Of course. Why would anyone lie on the Internet?

[–]blackhawk465 1 point2 points ago

I'm confused. Are you assuming that he is lying? Back when AIM was popular I had a friend with the screenname freakshow with numbers after it I can't remember. Once I was listening to Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind and when the lyrics "like a freakshow takes the stage" played on my computer they signed on.

I don't doubt their little random moment.

Its really quite simple and obvious. What has happened is this fine woman has decided to play tenpin bowling with a wet beaver and people in the place of pins. As you can see she got a strike.

Downvote it is then.

[–]SnugglesRawring 16 points17 points ago

Who cares if it is a repost? I haven't seen it before nor has many others. People who actively go to Karmadecay and post a list of other similar posts should be getting the flack.

[–]YourOpinionIsDumb 1 point2 points ago

aye aye cap'n

[–]sifRAWR -3 points-2 points ago

Maybe he already did? He isn't complaining anywhere in that post, in fact he says right at the top that if you are looking for more info you can check any of those threads. And provides links to past discussions. That provides a lot more to this thread than your comment did. (Mine is uselss too btw)

[–]sharpey95 -1 points0 points ago

Possible explanation, A bunch of homeless people sleeping together in an abandoned train with lights on.

[–]stinkypants -1 points0 points ago

[–]JamoAV -1 points0 points ago

Why does this happen.

[–]deja-vu-comment 25 points26 points ago

Movie. Set.

Not that that's necessarily the explanation, but it doesn't take much imagination.

[–]Bakkoda 6 points7 points ago

Midnight Meat Train Tours Inc.

[–]olen444 15 points16 points ago

yeah probably not. i've spent much time on the moscow metro, and while this is slightly worse than some of what i've encountered, it really is worse only by a small margin. this stuff happens (i mean the scene at the back; the girl probably just thought it was ironic or something to take the picture).

[–]LerithXanatos 4 points5 points ago

Why the fuck do people take the train then?!

[–]olen444 13 points14 points ago

It's actually an awesome metro system, the best I've ever used by far. Trains usually come every 90 seconds, are very fast, and go everywhere you could want in the city. And it's cheap. Central planning did get a few things right, and the metro was one of them.

BUT, its upsides can be its downsides. It closes late (I forget off the top of my head, but after 1:30, I think), and starts early (around 5:30), and there's a line that makes a ring around the city that, if you're really fucked up and don't get hassled by police (like our friends in the picture), you can pass out on and just ride around in circles for the whole day and much of the night.

[–]Raspolozenje 7 points8 points ago

I don't see any downsides in those downsides.

[–]JCJen7 1 point2 points ago

By harassed by police...you mean a massacre?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Why the fuck do people take the train then?!

Even their dogs take the train

You are correct sir, its predator 2.

Russian metro!

I know this only because of the map on the wall, and having played much Metro 2033.

[–]justatypo 0 points1 point ago

No kidding, that map is in the cover of the book and I recognized it instantly.

[–]mottledbungabunga 5 points6 points ago

It's homeless people sleeping. It's not blood on the floor, it's water. Look at the guy on the right, half way down, lying on his back on the seats with his legs rested - classic sleep position.

[–]No_fucks_were_given 1 point2 points ago

It's the midnight meat train! This girl is going to have a bad night.

[–]1000OceansWide 0 points1 point ago

Anyone who think that's blood is a fuckin idiot.

Clive Barker is the shit...

[–]splendourized 0 points1 point ago

That's what I was thinking, but the seats don't look right for it to be that set.

[–]uranus86 7 points8 points ago

Too bad all RICH_LITTLE does is repost top comments from every picture he comes across. It's pathetic really.

[–]ming_in_the_wild 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of the movie 'Midnight Meat Train'.

[–]Hadn 0 points1 point ago

Looks like the train scene from predator 2, maybe she was one of the extras?

[–]Piricho 0 points1 point ago

Bums sleeping on the floor. Those trains are almost the same as our old subways in the 60s-90s in sweden. They had this sandpapery floor. The liquids on the floor are most likely water, alcohol or piss. Probably the 2 latter.

EDIT: It does look like the right outside has been pressurized by something. Could it be an abandoned train in the tunnels? :P

[–]Barack-OJimmy 0 points1 point ago

She is no cheap date if she can out party the rest.

[–]RedonYellow 0 points1 point ago

Reposted just from last week? Holy crap that's a record.

[–]FlizmFlazm 0 points1 point ago

there is a person with there legs straight up in the air in a very unnatural position on the right side of the train towards the back. people do not sleep like that.

It's interesting to believe how many times I ve seen this photo. She's on a movie set

[–]boumboum34 1 point2 points ago

Google image search finds this.

Basically, that site claims those are actual dead bodies, victims of the 2010 Moscow Metro bombing where over 40 people died. Why that woman is there and looks so happy is still unexplained.

[–]Myself2 0 points1 point ago

why don't they sleep in the bench and rather sleep in the wet floor?

and all bunched together? for warmth you say, but some are lacking layers of cloth and some appear to be completely shirtless

I'm not totally convinced

[–]yourbuddyjoe -2 points-1 points ago

NSFW stands for Not Safe For Work. There is nothing in this image that is not safe for work hence the NSFW tag does not belong here.

Abuse of the NSFW tag diminishes the value of the NSFW tag. Please be aware of this in the future.
