Filed under the "Strange But True" drawer was a story from Tokyo, Japan. An unnamed woman but apparently aged in her 30's, somehow fell down a 8 inch (20 cm) gap between a train and the platform, and was trapped at JR Minami-Urawa rail station, just north of Tokyo in July 2013. A public announcement that a passenger was trapped was relayed across the station.

This prompted about 40 people to join with train officials, to attempt to push the 32-ton train carriage to one side, and free the woman.
