Panic on Hong Kong subway as fire injures nine
HONG KONG, Feb 10, 2017 (AFP) - Panic struck evening rush hour
commuters on Hong Kong's subway system Friday after a fire broke out in a
passenger cabin, injuring nine people and prompting the evacuation of a major
station.
Videos circulating online showed chaos on the platform at Tsim Sha Tsui
station, with parts of the cabin on fire and one passenger lying on the
platform with his clothes ablaze as bystanders tried to help him.
"Passengers were asked to evacuate from the Tsim Sha Tsui station," a
police spokeswoman told AFP.
Other images from official broadcaster RTHK showed people packed in a
smoke-filled train cabin, and described the situation as "chaotic".
The report said the fire had been extinguished by staff.
The incident is a rare occurrence in Asia's finance hub, where the
transportation network is known for its safety and efficiency.
Mass Transit Railway (MTR), the company which operates the city's subway,
announced in its stations that "staff are handling the situation" and that
trains were skipping Tsim Sha Tsui station, which services a popular retail
district.
The MTR said the fire had caused disruptions on one of its lines and called
on commuters to consider switching to other forms of transport.

Karma? Consequences? Seems harsh, but valid.
So what's flammable in a subway train? brake line fluid?
