Summary: At about 2:30 pm, there was an explosion and smoke coming from the train tunnels. The trains immediately stopped and the evacuation started. An eyewitness even said that everyone in the train car expected death. There were people covered in blood and even 3-4 dead. The evacuation took place 5-7 minutes after the explosion and authorities arrived to the scene. People were burned, disfigured, and crying. At least 11 people are reported dead and 39 injured. One helicopter arrived just to collect dead bodies.
Analysis: This was an extremely tragic event. It happened on Monday at Seyenna Square and killed many people, injuring even more. The fact that this even happened shows irresponsibility on the part of the train station, especially considering the fact that it emotionally scarred more than it physically did. I hope the people affected by this incident are going to be okay.
