Toronto’s Union Station shut down due to massive flood of rainwater and possibly sewage
A flood of rainwater and sewage shut down Toronto’s Union Station Friday afternoon, closing the key transit hub for hours and ensuring a nightmare afternoon commute.

TTC Chair Andy Byford was among the first to see the flood.

“I was on a train heading south to Union Station. I looked out the window and you could see water pouring onto the platform.”

He is not optimistic that Union will be useable for the afternoon commute.

“We are in the middle of a massive cleanup of the foul water,” said Mr. Byford. “I cannot see how this station could possible reopen for rush hour.”

The floodwater is “a cross between water and sewage,” confirmed Toronto Fire spokesman Adrian Ratushniak. (Photos: First three photos by Alana McCarthy; fourth Aron Vincent Elkaim/Canadian Press)

Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.
