Passengers help free trapped woman on Keihin Tohoku line

[clem24]

An interesting read and feel good story to start the day. Apparently the gap was 20cm and the woman fell in after exiting the train. After an announcement was made that someone was stuck at the waist between the train and platform, about 40 passengers disembarked from the rail car and pushed on the side to free her. She ended up only suffering minor injuries.
