Sad. But I'm thinking rather than her just being a below marginal human, maybe she was having a bad day and was not focused at the moment. I think it does take a lapse of normal consciousness to fall like that, but on the other hand, I recall quite a few times over the years noticing how large that gap between train and platform could be and then being extra cautious, I sort of even recall very slight "vertigo" looking down into that hole as the train was pulling into the station ...and I'm not even a vertigo type of guy, I climb up anything available and will go out on the roofs of any building even thru doors that have to be "persuaded" to cooperate.
Does my spin on it suggest that there is liability for this, I don't know since that's splitting the legal hairs finer than I can do. I'll ask my buddy who works for Metro North what they think.
