I saw that. It struck as incredible that some people didn't even know
how to press a button.

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.
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.

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

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.

The power supply button on the near wall in the station. Two girls were
pushing it without lifting the cover.

Panicked, she was. Just because of a strong smell from the brakes.
