[Egao, Egao Everywhere]

Right now, there's news of the MRT train that has hit a post and landed on top of cars and buses (it's not an underground train). I don't usually take this train to go to school, but I occasionally do to go to the mall and spend some cash.

I would google for more information but Internet is really crap. I just want to say I'm glad I'm home right now. I've always felt the train...to be unsafe so I would always be vigilant while on the ride, imagining what I would do if something terrible happened.

I'm glad I'm home. I'm glad for all the people who are safely at their houses. And can only pray to those still waiting for rescue, those who are already gone. The train stations here are widely used by a lot of people. At this time of the day, it's a rush hour. I...wouldn't be surprised if a person I know had just died.

well they said it got derailed and only said a few were injured. WHOOO. (I hope it isn't too early to celebrate)

this is part of my daily commute but my friend offered to drive me home today! (though at the time i had no idea that this was going on)

it's going to be mostly blame-game from here on out (like with the mrt management, etc and a lot of people talking about the transport situation in this country (which is arguably better than not...talking or caring at all)) one the biggest problems after getting the injured people out was trying to calm the crowd on the bridgeway. i heard on the news that there were injuries up there as well?? because of people shoving at each other to make way

in any case, i'm just glad to be home now too and that mrt management said the people who were injured would be getting compensation for damages sustained ...but i'm kind of afraid to go that way going to school tomorrow if trains are operational ;_;
