A subway rider is grateful to be alive and well after escaping harm when a ceiling panel fell inside a train station.
The MBTA said its findings suggested that water had built up in the panel insulation, which was installed around 1980. Officials believe the metal and the rivets then corroded.
Local news outlets identified the rider as Cianna Navarro, who said she was in a "state of shock" following the incident. "I didn’t really understand the severity of it until the MBTA came out and said it was up to 25 pounds," Navarro . "Once I had gathered that information, it kind of felt like a second wave of shock, of understanding how bad it potentially could’ve been."Storyful contributed to this report. This story was reported from Los Angeles.
