We've always been somewhat leery of that gaping abyss between the subway platform and the subway itself. Most days we can step over it just fine, but when we have a rolling suitcase with us, we pull extra hard to make sure it doesn't get stuck, and we cringe a little when watching dogs or small children step over a crack that's bigger than their feet.

It may not be surprising that you could get your foot stuck in that area, but what is surprising is that the MBTA was able to resolve the incident in only 15 minutes—and the train didn't even try to take off while the woman was stuck.
