Two subway trains collided on Friday at a station in the South Korean capital Seoul, injuring 78 passengers, the emergency services said, although none appeared to be seriously hurt.
One subway car derailed due to the impact and passengers walked along the tracks to the station, YTN televison said.
Many injuries were caused by passengers jumping from the subway cars onto the tracks, a government emergency official said. |

I read on cbc.ca that an onboard announcement initially told passengers to stay inside, but most people ignored it and forced the doors open to escape.
After recent events, no wonder... |
