Amtrak: 'Please Don't Yell at Us, We Only Want to Help'

A huge construction project at 30th Street Station is going to turn Philadelphians into venom-spitting rage robots, and Amtrak wants to head the anger off at the pass. So the transportation company has released a video with some time-lapse photography and BIG LETTERS to explain why, in the simplest terms possible, the nightmare needs to occur. It's a transparently desperate bid for compassion, and it won't likely work. But we agree that the project will make the world a better place, so please, Philadelphians, try to be nice.
