Tokyo Commuters Lift Train Off Woman

During Tokyo's busy morning rush hour a woman fell between the platform and a train.

Forty bystanders rushed to join transit workers and police and pushed the train car off of her, so that she could be lifted to safety.

A single train car weighs more than thirty-three tons.

The woman was not seriously injured in the incident, but was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

Train service resumed just eight minutes later.
