Balance folks, balance! Just before noon, a female straphanger fell onto the track bed at the 59th Street-Lexington Ave station as a southbound 6 train approached. Luckily, she fell just so and the train passed over her and she was removed by paramedics in one piece. The MTA tells us that service was stopped for about an hour and is now running again with residual delays. This is the third person to survive falling in the tracks in as many weeks—earlier in the month a man tried to kill himself via the G train after he slashed his parents and last week a man in a wheelchair fell into the tracks at 125th Street.
