“The entire structure started shaking,” said Steben Medina, who was having coffee at the terminal when he heard the crash and screams. “I thought a bomb had gone off or something.”
The most serious injury, though, appeared to be a broken leg, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo said: “Luckily … all things considered, this was a relatively minor accident.”
The terminal is beneath a shopping mall in downtown Brooklyn, next to the Barclays Center, home to Brooklyn Nets basketball, New York Islanders hockey and major concerts.
