Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa emphasized the need to address these vulnerabilities just days after the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa pointed to past warning signs, such as the 1993 attempt to topple the World Trade Center and subsequent warnings from figures like Osama bin Laden.

Guardian Angels Founder Curtis Sliwa Concerns Over NYC Subway Vandalism and Security Concerns
According to Yahoo News, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa is deeply concerned about the recent subway vandalism in New York City. He believes it should be a stark reminder to Mayor Eric Adams regarding potential threats to the city’s infrastructure. Sliwa’s concerns are amplified by the proximity of the incident to the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks and the influx of approximately 113,000 migrants at the border, some of whom may not have undergone thorough vetting.
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa emphasizes the urgent need for proactive security measures to protect the city’s vulnerable subway system, which he views as highly susceptible to various risks. Sliwa points to a prior incident involving subway shooter Frank James, who evaded capture for nearly 30 hours after causing chaos on a subway car.
These events have shed light on the subway’s lack of security, including the absence of cameras and inadequate police presence, both on moving trains and when stationary. Allocating sufficient resources for improved subway security has proven challenging, leaving the system exposed to potential threats. Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa and others argue that these incidents should prompt action to enhance security in this vital part of the city’s transportation network.
