*now gets more worried about travelling on the underground than before*

My claustrophobia doesn't help me with it
I try to avoid it as much as possible. Going down and down makes me feel so bad.

I'm not as bad as I should be.
As long as it's not over crowded I seem to be ok.

I don't get too bad
but it does make me nervous, specially if I start thinking of scape routes in case of emergency.

How do you feel if you see a man with a beard and a rucksack muttering to himself?

You don't get any significant depletion of oxygen on the underground
it's hardly a sealed room.

If you get stuck
on the tunnel, with a lot of passengers on the carriage with you, at rush hour, I bet you get O2 depletion.

I really, honestly doubt it
the train isn't sealed and the tunnels aren't sealed and humans don't use that much oxygen

But so many humans
in such a little space... no, it can't be good, and you don't need that much depletion.

You'd last more than an hour in a sealed coffin before oxygen depletion caused you any significant problem
You'd have died of dehyrdation in a stuck tube train before you ran out of oxygen, even full of people. Remember you've got to use up the oxygen in the train, the whole length of the tunnel and every station on the line even ignoring all the vents to the surface. Gases diffuse from regions of high to regions of low concentration and they do so reasonably quickly. Certainly faster than load of passengers can use it up.

Jesus, sometimes I even bore myself. Sorry.

Right, I know
still, it makes me unconfortable. Now I need to carry a bottle of water with me at all times.
