Seems like a bit of a storm in a tea-cup,


Not according to the Evening Standard:

COMMUTER TERROR AS TUBE DOORS OPEN ON A MOVING VICTORIA LINE TRAIN

I ask you!


No doubt they've found the usual mousy timid types afraid of their
own shadow to recount their stark terror as they watched the doors
open while they sat on their seat 10 foot away.


Probably more a case of the journos asking, "Were you terrified?", and
the pax mumbling something unintelligible. Or they just ask enough
people till one of them agrees they were indeed terrified (anything to
get their name in the paper, not that the ES even did that).
