BOSTON (WHDH) - New video from the MBTA shows the moment sparks showered Park Street Station.
The sparks were a result of a wire coming down on the westbound side of the Green Line platform earlier this month.
A different angle shot by a passenger on the platform shows people running away from the sparks and the smoke filling the station.
The MBTA said at the time that there was no fire and no one was hurt, though it caused delays on the line as crews made repairs.
“When it (sparked) again, and even bigger, is when the workers in the station started yelling at people to get off,” Arthur Mansavage, who captured the cell phone footage, previously told 7NEWS. “And then when it happened, like a third time, rapidly, then there was, I think, maybe some police officers, too, who were yelling to evacuate the whole station.”
Mansavage, an Emerson College student, said he was able to hide behind a railing and avoided being trampled as passengers fled the platform. He added that Sunday was only his third time using the rail service since coming to the Boston area.
