Reminds me of this, although the person in question was not drunk at the time.

How wide is that? In Hong Kong we have the widest gap of more than one feet ("University" station on the East Rail Line) http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20111216/00176_035.html http://news.backchina.com/viewnews-155014-big5.html (These are Chinese sites, but you only need the pictures) That station is really curved so the gap is wide too. Someone suggest installing APG (Automatic Platform Gates) but I don't think they help. ("Someone" are actually stupid persons) Somebody suggest installing Platform Gap Fillers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_gap_filler) but experiments shows that they cause serious delay which increases headway and isn't quite acceptable in Hong Kong.

I thought it was astonishing - she seemed almost magnetically drawn down the gap
