MEMBERS OF A safety subcommittee of the MBTA offered their condolences on Thursday to the families of Robinson Lalin and Peter Monsini.
Lalin of Boston died around 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning when his arm got caught in the doors of a Red Line train at Broadway Station and he was dragged to his death.
Monsini of South Easton died March 26 at the 1 Congress St. construction site when several floors of the parking garage, which was being demolished, collapsed. Monsini worked for the contractor doing work at the site, which is located above MBTA subway tunnels that were closed for several days after the collapse as a safety precaution.
Midway through the subcommittee’s monthly meeting, Robert Butler, a union official serving on the MBTA Board, said he wanted to take a moment to recognize the two men.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Robinson Lalin family and the Peter Monsini family — two people who lost their lives,” he said. “It is a tragedy that happened and we feel the pain.”
The two other members of the subcommittee — Mary Beth Mello and Thomas (Scott) Darling — said they felt the same. “The whole committee has these same thoughts,” Darling said.
Some members of the Lalin family have said the T has not reached out to them in the wake of the incident.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating Lalin’s death; in the meantime, the T has declined comment on what happened. The safety subcommittee, known as safety, health, and environment subcommittee, heard T reports on safety measures at the T but nothing about the death of Lalin at Broadway Station. The full MBTA Board is expected to meet next week.
