If you haven’t seen the scary bit of the MRT video that went viral today, allow us to quickly bring you up to speed. The clip, viewed hundreds of thousands of times already, involves a pair of women racing toward a soon-to-be-departing train at the Downtown Line’s Little India station.

In the video, she then appears to pry the platform doors open and step between the platform and car. Unfortunately for her, the car doors remain firmly closed, leaving her trapped in between when the platform doors shut behind her. So … what exactly happened? If you thought she actually pried both sets of doors open, you would be sadly mistaken.

A staff on board the train, which was en route to Expo, then activated an emergency device, which allowed the train doors to reopen moments later, according to Tammy Tan, senior vice president for corporate communications. The incident, by the way, which lasted about 20 seconds, took place at roughly 3:30pm on Monday.
