Reports are coming in of a guy on the Red Line tracks at South Station. Climbed back up OK, was promptly pinned to the ground by a T inspector to await police, Marq tweets.
The guy was out of it....some other by stander jumped in and pulled him out ..then the guy gets all crazy and swings at the MBTA guy...then my train came.
The T's had a couple of highly publicized cases recently of people on the tracks, so I thought it was interesting. I hear you on the reliability of a tweet, but generally, when several people tweet separately with the same basic story about the same thing (although I only linked to one tweet, there were at least two other people who posted), the odds of reliability are much higher.

why is this news?
someone tweets.... and it becomes news?? and I'm sure that this tweet - like most others - is very loose with the facts
News judgment?
