A Massachusetts woman was trying to board a subway train at Boston’s South Station when the train’s doors closed on her, trapping her purse inside and leaving her on the platform, MyFoxBoston.com reported.  The situation grew worse when the train began to move. The 34-year-old woman was screaming for help as she was forced to run alongside the train because her bag was still wedged in the train’s doors.  Just before the train went into the tunnel, the woman let go of her purse and collided into a wall at the end of the platform.  The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is investigating the incident. The train attendant, whose job is to make sure the doors are cleared of people or objects before closing, was fired. The train’s operator has been placed on a 10-day suspension, MyFoxBoston.com reported.  “When I was appointed Acting General Manager four months ago, I made it very clear that matters of safety will be my top priority for as long as I serve,” MBTA general manager William Mitchell, according to MyFoxBoston.com.  “The behavior of the train crew in this incident was inexcusable, and won't be tolerated.

This is just crazy!  How could someone not notice the safety of the public?  I have no idea why people have no consideration of others in moments like this. They represent the public transportation system, how did they become employed to run the train if they can't watch out for others?  the questions that are going through my mind are neverending and this just makes me sick.  What if there was a buggy and a baby stuck in the doors would they still take off? 

I think this it irresponsible and negligent on all sides as they need to reevaluate and do drug screens on these people as they are doing something or are into something that apparently has them distracted.  I think this is just ludicrous on the situation and the actions that are taken that they seem to get away with.
