Woman injured by falling equipment at Harvard MBTA station due to corrosion.
TL;DR Summary
A woman was injured when a utility box fell on her at Harvard MBTA Station due to corrosion on the support straps. General Manager Phil Eng ordered immediate inspections of all stations to check the condition of the support straps. The MBTA believes the boxes are only on the Red Line and inspections are ongoing. Red Line service was not impacted by the incident. Two months ago, a falling ceiling tile nearly hit a woman at the same station, and the T later removed other tiles in that section of the station.
