An MTR train carrying passengers has derailed in Hong Kong for the first time, leading to a service suspension on the East Rail line.
A paramedic said they initially received no reports of injury. “But later, some complained of discomfort or shortness of breath probably due to the anxiety and fright,” he said. Passengers leave the Mong Kok East-bound train, which derailed shortly after departing from Hung Hom terminus at about 8.45am on Tuesday.The train left Mong Kok East towards Hung Hom but a carriage derailed en route. The rail operator initially released information the train was heading in the opposite direction.
The incident site was enclosed so it was hard for outsiders to access it, the source added, hinting it was very difficult for anyone to cause disruption at that location. The carriage he was in held 40 to 50 passengers, mostly women and at least one child. Kwok said he helped them to leave before he was tended to by first aid workers.
Meanwhile, services on the West Rail line have been affected with trains between Hung Hom and Tuen Mun running every 12 minutes. Services between Nam Cheong and Tuen Mun are running at six-minute intervals.
Um... , it looks like the mainland Chinese already had the script of this incident before any investigation or even this incident get happened MTR mtrhk
