"medical emergency" at Park

[enochs-fable.livejournal.com]

We were told that someone jumped in front of a train at Park; hence the delays on the Alewife side of the Red Line. Anyone know more?

Something to that effect is scrolling across this page right now.

Over in b0st0n, they just passed along the message that someone was stuck under a train in Park Street. Which sounds less like a jumper and more like an accident (I'm being optimistic here).

I don't know about that, but there was a lot of smoke and a train taken out of service at Harvard, about an hour ago.

i was there during the evacuation and saw the guy on the stretcher being carried out. he was dead, i'm pretty sure, as he sat in that ambulance for over a half hour before they drove off leisurely.

That was seperate...I was on that train. It caught fire and they hauled us all off.

The MBTA website says that a woman and a female MBTA employee both fell ill at the same time as the accident.

Alex, dude, I am sorry but you have to skip work!

Unless it is too late and you got there in which case see you tonight!

[purplepants.livejournal.com]

Don't I wish..heh. I'm too good to skip out like that, I guess..

But, definitely see you tonight.

There is now also a short article on Boston.com about the incident at Park Street.

Man struck by train at Park Street (http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2005/09/30/man_struck_by_train_at_park_street/)

I was also on the train that caught fire - it was just after they announced that normal service would resume. It was a sign that I should not come in to work, but here I am...

I was on the one right behind it. Nice and crowded.

I was on the train right behind you. We were held up for about 10 minutes, and when I got off at Harvard, the station was full of smoke. Rather scary...

This happened over the summer too...
