Watching the video I don't think anyone comes out of it very well. Quite
why the camera operator kept filming instead of evacuating I don't know.


Well, it's rather a good job he did, because it provides evidence of what
happened and how people responded.

The staff appear (stress - appear) to be running around not really knowing
what to do. And what the woman who climbed out thought she was going to
achieve is beyond me.


She was on a train that she believed was on fire (apparently) and the doors
were jammed shut.

What would you have done, I wonder?


Ironically, they were 'jammed shut' as a safety precaution, as the train
was partly in tunnel.
