LOS ANGELES — A blind man who fell from the edge of a Los Angeles subway platform bounced off one of the rails below, landing in a tiny alcove in the track bed just wide enough to keep him from being struck by an approaching train.
LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Paul Gonzales, who saw video of the incident, said Friday that had the 47-year-old man bounced in the other direction, he would have gone into the path of the 90,000-pound train.
"I have used the word 'miracle' before and I still can't think of a different word," Gonzales said.
"He could have fallen a different way and it would have ended a different way."
Officials did not release the man's name, and Gonzales said the transit agency would not release the video.
But he said it shows the man using his cane at the platform's edge.
"You can see him sort of feeling at it with his cane and then he steps on it," Gonzales said. "But then he takes one more step forward and topples over."
A bystander is seen trying to stop him, but that person is too late.
The driver hit the brakes, but couldn't stop the train until the second car had passed over the man.
The man suffered only minor injuries.
