<p>Internet vigilantes, you've done it again! After a <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/06/brooklyn-filmmaker-records-video-of-people-continuously-tripping-on-the-same-step-at-36th-st-station/">video</a> of person after person tripping at the 36th St. subway station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn went viral yesterday, Betabeat--and tons of other reporters, apparently--called the MTA to ask if they had any intention of fixing the offending step. The MTA told us, “We will send someone out to take a look and take corrective measures," and apparently they're making good on their word.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Subway-Stair-Tripping-People-Fall-Steps-Brooklyn-Station-36-Street-Sunset-Park-MTA-160629545.html">According</a> to NBC News, "Crews went to the station Wednesday to block off the staircase in preparation for repairs."</p>
<p>We did it, Internet! Give yourselves a pat on the back--if you can bear to take your hands off the keyboard, that is.</p>
<p>The only downside is that NBC News reports that the MTA is unsure how long the fix will take, which means it probably won't be done for years. Sorry, Sunset Park.</p>
