A passenger narrowly missed getting struck when a large ceiling panel came crashing to the platform at a Boston-area subway station.
Surveillance video shows the passenger stopping short as the panel comes down at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Harvard Station in Cambridge shortly before 4 p.m. last Wednesday, sending up a cloud of dust. The passenger pauses, then walks around it and toward a staircase. The panels can weigh as much as 25 pounds (11.3 kilograms).
