Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 T dispatcher's action saves man who fell By Globe Staff and Wires, 6/7/2003 An MBTA dispatcher was credited with saving the life of a man who fell onto a subway track yesterday, struck his head, and passed out, officials said. Other passengers saw the man fall, but did nothing, authorities said. Dan Nascarella, a rapid transit dispatcher at the T's Operations and Control Center in Boston, stopped trains in both directions after catching a glimpse of something falling onto the tracks on a television monitor. Nascarella told his supervisor that he believed he saw something fall into the pit at Broadway station about 1:30 p.m.,but did not know which track. Nearby passengers did not react, said Hogan, the OCC's chief. Unsure where the man had fallen, Nascarella stopped trains in both directions while waiting for help, which T officials said came in minutes. Trains were running within six minutes of the victim being pulled from the tracks. The condition of the victim,whose name was not released, was unknown. =============== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
