Got to love this one..... and nobody was hurt. But it was close. From Medialite, 4/19/14:

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) has been waging a campaign demanding safety accountability for the Metro-North railway this week after it was discovered that the MTA has had 139 violations resulting in $552,000 worth of fines over the last ten years. But as he discovered this week, there is also an element of personal responsibility when it comes to commuter train safety.

Here is the story. And note that the graphic at the bottom of the screen in the video says that it was a Metro North train. But that's not what almost hit Sen. Blumenthal.
