Yesterday passengers were lucky not to fall from the M train's elevated tracks in Brooklyn, as one of the subway's doors opened before the train had fully pulled into the Marcy Avenue station. NY1 reports that yesterday evening one train never fully pulled into the station, but the doors opened and some passengers attempted to get off. Witness Maryanne Lebron said, "They were rushing off and thank God the first passenger that was getting off was able to realize before falling down that there was no platform so he held on and the three people behind him pretty much stopped short, which kind of like saved their lives." Where have we seen this before?
MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz tells us, "This is a serious incident and we are investigating. We are also in the process of identifying the train crew involved." The doors reportedly closed before the train pulled out of the station. Lebron said, "They could have gotten hurt. They could've gotten killed. Instead of rushing home, they could have been rushing to their death." Just a reminder to be careful if you lean on the subway doors!
