A passenger narrowly missed getting struck when a large ceiling panel came crashing to the platform at a Boston-area subway station.
The aluminum panel fell about 10 feet , MBTA interim General Manager Jeff Gonneville said at a Friday news conference.
The MBTA removed about 10 other panels at the station, which has 400 to 500 of them in total. The panels date to 1978 and the one that fell was wet and showed signs of corrosion, he said. The panels do not affect the structural integrity of the station.
