<p>Last night, the MTA posted a video of the cleanup effort going on inside the Hugh Carey Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, which had <a href="http://observer.com/2012/11/the-hugh-carey-brooklyn-battery-tunnel-just-reopened-and-already-theres-traffic/">reopened just the day before</a> after<a href="http://observer.com/2012/11/governor-cuomo-new-york-citys-greatest-strength-is-also-its-greatest-weakness/"> a monstrous flood</a>.</p>
<p>It is a burgeoning genre, after the MTA <a href="http://observer.com/2012/11/the-mta-is-busy-cleaning-up-the-l-line-and-theyve-got-the-video-to-prove-it/">gave the L train tubes the same treatment</a>—not every effort got a star turn, just the slow ones, as though to say, "Look, we're workin' on it." That and the jaw-dropping ones, like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xkdv0H31d8">flooding inside the (still-closed) South Ferry subway station</a> (and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS7x9UGx5n4">the cleanup</a>).<!--more--></p>
<p>The much beloved <a href="http://galleristny.com/2011/11/panic-in-detroit-lures-shutterbugs-but-how-much-ruin-porn-can-we-take/?show=all">Detroit ruin porn</a> comes to mind. Perhaps we should come up with a name for this new genre of film. Subway smut? S&amp;MTA? Leave your nominees in the comments.</p>
