New York - Rat sightings are a common enough sight as you look out of a window while riding in the "hole in the ground," better known as the New York City Subway system.  But, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], it is a rare thing, indeed, to have such a scary rodent as a riding companion.  Yet, it happened recently aboard the A Train and, as you might expect, it caused quite a scene. 

Passengers screamed and jumped up on their seats to avoid contact with the rat and it was all caught on a cell phone video by a passenger who told reporters later that "it was a fun ride."
