Mary Downey is extremely lucky to be alive after she fell onto the tracks while waiting for a subway train in Manhattan over the weekend…
The 22-year-old, who is originally from Ireland, was waiting for a train at Times Square Station at 6am following a night on the town, when she stumbled and fell onto the busy tracks.
Downey, who now lives in Woodlawn, Bronx, managed to survive being crushed to death by three oncoming trains after she rolled into the small gap that sits between the different train tracks.
According to police sources, Downey broke her shoulder after falling onto the tracks, but luckily for the Irish woman in question, that was the extent of her injuries…
“She was lucky enough to have, it looks like to us, rolled to the platform and was in between the platform and the train when the train came into the station,” said FDNY Battalion Chief Mike Meyers.
