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

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

I thought they were pressing the fire alarm but I may be wrong. You
do, of course, need to "break glass" for fire alarms and I didn't see
anything smash.

It was the power supply 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.

Where's the manual override on the 92ts, BTW?
