EDITOR’S NOTE: Some readers may find this article upsetting. It contains extremely graphic photos, videos and descriptions of a woman being burned alive on the NYC Subway.
Yesterday, we brought you this disturbing story about a woman being burned alive on a NYC subway car:
Today I have an update for you, with updated videos and a stunning move (stunningly tone deaf) by NY Gov. Hochul.
We have to start here with this video of the woman literally being burned alive on the subway car:

I don't know what's most crazy about this video, but somewhere near the top is the police office just casually walking by and barely even looking over.
Bro, do something!
More here, at least these citizens were jumping in and trying to help:

Ok, so now the absolutely tone deaf move by Gov. Hochul which makes you wonder if these people are just seeing how far they can push things before the people revolt. What crazy thing can we do next that would just be so wildly out of any normal decorum that the people couldn't possibly tolerate. That's how I imagine they make decisions.
This is right on par with, or perhaps exceeds, Gov. Tim Walz' wife instructing the staff to open the windows so she could smell Minneapolis burning.
Check the dates and timestamps and you will see this was posted AFTER the woman was burned alive....here is Gov. Hochul declaring victory about how she made the Subway in NYC safe:
In March, I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day.
Since deploying the @NationalGuardNY to support @NYPDnews and @MTA safety efforts and adding cameras to all subway cars, crime is going down, and ridership is going up. pic.twitter.com/T7uRxx9nIO

You can't make this stuff up folks!
Elon Musk noticed and called for her to be recalled:
Insane. She should be recalled. https://t.co/Wbxd8wMBAr

I think Elon is 100% right.
If you claim victory in making the subway system safe just hours after a woman was literally lit on fired and killed by a violent "migrant" then you no longer have any basis to remain in public office and you should be recalled.
Do you agree?
Here's more from our original report yesterday:
WARNING EXTREMELY GRAPHIC – Woman Dies After Reportedly Being Set On Fire Inside Subway Car, Arrest Made
A woman died Sunday in New York City after being engulfed in flames inside a stationary subway car.
The woman was discovered around 7:30 a.m. on an F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station.
Police officials arrested a suspect who authorities said intentionally set the woman on fire while she slept and watched her burn to death.
“Earlier this morning, tragedy struck on an F train near the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn New York when bystanders watched in horror as a sleeping woman was set on fire in a shocking act of violence. According to investigators, a man sitting across from her calmly lit a match, threw it on her as he passed by, and fled the station before anyone could react,” Rawsalerts wrote.
“Emergency responders arrived to find the woman engulfed in flames. Despite their efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene,” the post added.

From the New York Post:
In a horrifying video obtained by The Post, the man calmly looked on as flames engulfed the unidentified woman, who stood inside the open subway car door while the train idled at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station at about 7:30 a.m. on Sunday.
A transit cop walked by, and seemed to pull out his radio and say something as he continued down the platform.
After the cop passed, the suspect — who police say stands about 5-foot, 6-inches tall, weighs around 150 pounds and is about 25 to 30 years-old — got up as if to walk away before the clip cut off.
In another video, cops yelled to the gathered crowd, “Did anybody see anything? Did anybody see anything?” as smoke poured from inside the subway car.
The suspect brazenly sat on a bench right in front of the door as cops huddled around it, pulling his hood up at one point just before an officer spoke to him.
“Do me a favor? Walk down there,” the cop said, motioning down the platform with his radio. “I need this space cleared up.”

“It’s scary,” a Brooklyn resident told the New York Post.
“It’s going downhill a bit. Everybody keeps saying it’s going back to the seventies. It’s a frequent occurrence — not like this, setting people on fire — but like the mugging, the killings, the fighting, the shootings, they’re really common nowadays. [It’s] very bad,” he continued.

The shocking death follows New York Gov. Kathy Hochul deploying an additional 750 National Guard troops into New York City subways, which makes 1,000 total troops in the subway system.
Per NBC New York:
Police believe the woman had been sleeping aboard the train when a man approached her and set her on fire by using a lighter to ignite her clothes. Responding officers found the woman standing inside the train car "fully engulfed in flames."
After the fire was extinguished, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
At a 5 p.m. police press conference, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced the apprehension of the person of interest.
Tisch said the person of interest "carried out one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being."
Investigators believe the suspect stayed at the scene and was seated on a bench directly outside of the train car.
Three high school-aged New Yorkers called 911 after spotted the alleged suspect on another moving train later in the day Sunday.
Officers boarded the train and located and arrested the person of interest, Tisch said. The man was allegedly found with a lighter in his pocket.
