A passenger narrowly missed getting struck when a large ceiling panel came crashing down onto the platform at a Boston-area subway station.
Surveillance video shows the passenger stopping short as the panel came down from the roof in front of them at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Harvard Station in Cambridge.
An alternative angle then shows commuter looking up at the ceiling in shock as they try to understand what happened and how lucky they came to being seriously hurt.
Video sees the panel come down inches from the startled passenger who stops in their tracks. The commuter pauses, then walks around it and toward a staircase.
Fellow passengers either didn't see what had happened or hear anything as they could be seen continuing to go about their business including boarding a waiting subway train.
