News reports said a subway car running from Bojeong Station to Jukjeon Station on Bundang Line derailed at Jukjeon Station at around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, forcing more than 40 passengers to get off on the rail and walk to the platform of Jukjeon Station to get on another subway car.

There was no injury on passengers, multiple reports said.

As of 3:30 p.m., the Bundang Line was in operation only between Seolleung Station and Ori Station, according to Yonhap News.

Leave it to Konglish newspapers to include this quote.

It probably was pretty dark but I wonder if they saw any rats or alligators down in the tunnel. Very Happy

Jukjeon is above ground, quite possibly there was no tunnel involved (which makes the story significantly less dramatic).

Unless there were blind, disabled, or folks in a wheelchair having to make it to the next station.

Gotta look at all sides.
