It rather makes you want to go and pop a balloon in the ES newsroom, seeing as they're all so on edge... |

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. B2003 |

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). |

According to the Substandard, it was at 18:30, during the evening peak. If I was one of the poor sods jammed up against the doors I'd be somewhat more than "mildly perturbed"! -- David Cantrell | Hero of the Information Age THIS IS THE LANGUAGE POLICE PUT DOWN YOUR THESAURUS STEP AWAY FROM THE CLICHE |

Luckily there's seldom anyone still jammed up against the doors by the time a southbound Victoria line approaches Brixton. But the consequences could have been horrendous if it had happened further up the line. -- Paul Terry |
