The anonymous woman jumped into the water, swam to shore, and carried on with her day. How Bostonian!
Many locals had a similar reaction to the heroics of another Boston figure on Thursday morning when an MBTA train heading into the neighboring city of Somerville caught on fire.
One commuter remained undaunted, though. She jumped off the tracks into the water, swam to shore, and carried on with her morning. No emergency support. No shot for whatever bacteria are lurking in the Mystic River – cleaner now than it was in its industrial heyday, sure, but still no one’s ideal of a recreational spot. No one else’s business. Just on to the shore and on with her day. A common refrain among local commenters was that she was probably already late for work anyway, knowing the MBTA, and just needed to keep moving by any means possible. Maybe she’d had a large iced Dunkin’ and felt invincible.
