Subway Train Kills Queens Woman Picking Up Cellphone -- I once jumped onto the subway tracks at Grand Central to retrieve my Walkman, back in the days when people still used cassette tapes.
From the end of the article:
"Yesterday's death came less than four months after service on Metro-North's Harlem Line out of Grand Central Terminal was severely disrupted because a Bronx man dropped his cellphone in the toilet of a moving train, then tried to retrieve it, getting his arm stuck from hand to elbow in the train's stainless steel commode.
Firefighters had to use the jaws of life to free the man's arm, and the resulting disruption caused lengthy delays on Metro-North as trains were rerouted."
