Tube line cleared due to runaway maintenance train

[Applachia0928]

@trackend Jeez, would ya look at that. An idiot telling me something. Well, not really an idiot. But anyway, are you blaming the US railroads for the train vs car accidents, because if you are, you put your accusations in the wrong spot.

[pyronathanpyro]

the knife is pretty funny thow just randomly holding it lol

[Applachia0928]

@editedbyfailure I am GERMAN!

[Applachia0928]

Always count on a British railroad to screw things up and almost kill people!

[editedbyfailure]

@Applachia0928 stupid american

[trackend]

@Applachia0928 I think you need to look at other train networks around the world US level crossing safety record is awful train deaths per passenger miles in 90% of other countrys exceeds the UK rail networks by along way and that includes the German & Japanese railways

[mastergx1]

"The runnaway train came down the track and she"....stayed perfecty silent!

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

lol @ the rubber bowie knife, that wouldve never made it past editing in the states.

[TwistSolutions]

Does that RMT guy thing people are stupid? Even if there was 100,000 station staff it would not of stopped this event happening.

[mrwindytree]

@TwistSolutions

The RMT guy was talking about the decision to replace weekly checks with fortnightly checks, thus less maintenance staff will be needed.

[mikee2kuk]

What the didn't tell you was that Tom Cruise was on the roof...

[falkerhard]

Kids shouldn't be playing with knives or guns. Fake or real it doesn't matter. Why dont you just go ahead and give them a dildo instead. I didn't think so.

[andyrccar]

[dhoom472]

[timsvile95]

people that are writing a big description about saying the knife is plastic , cant you take a joke??

[WAATANG]

1st the knife is funny = classic london

2md the guy talking looks like pinky from pinky and the brain :)

[whybecauseisayso]

The little stock film of the Tube carriage must be so very old. The orange/brown patterned fabric has not been in use for a long long time.

[oismackhead]

lol it was CLEARLY a toy knife!

and that woman was a frigging loser 'ohh a camera, i know, i'll show everyone my kids toy knife' lol she must be foreign.

[LolliAnime]

That 'knife' was clearly a little plastic toy dagger, don't get too over excited...

[iamactuallyover18]

Hey train! ...... knife.

[tormentorbangz]

gay

[MrIchewstraws]

@IamtheMontageMaster Hahaha :D

[javatar33]

thank god i don't live in london anymore

[p3rCy09]

that kid is gonna kill some people xD

[ekoh8873]

lol thats so funny that the woman was holding a fake knife :P what a coincidence that they would be filming at that time.

[killomillionaire]

scary...i wonder what speed they were traveling

[MrNodzilla]

A train that speeds up ? What a great idea !

[simpletimes222]

When I saw this is was baffled. These guys are idiots, a spokesman said they have a excellent safety record! Funny that last year the District line was threatened with closer because of safety! But it is the oldest in the world....

[BenFosterification]

Budgets cuts to blame need i say more bastard conservative liars. tell us apart from making "Efficency saving" to back door services such as new hospitals, Place for univercity students, new schools all of which are not front line are they.

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

@BenFosterification are you named after the tweeker peckerwood in "alpha dog"?

[natflix]

oh dear

[BURBZ101]

never mind the knife What about the gun the kid is holding ??

[feldon27]

Fail = no actual footage of the train. I watched this for nothing.

[zvwolf]

Haha wtf is with that knife lol

[Abebil3]

Holy mother! I'm going to london in 2days!! I hope this shit doesnt happen again soon!

[theBlueBrick]

Note to train drivers - put the fucking handbrake on next time!

[MexCan65]

In Vancouver all of our trains are controlled by computers. There are ZERO accidents here in the over 20 years of service. There are no humans on board except passengers.

[Kevster1993]

@MexCan65 Well our Underground is old and dangerous.

And that's the way we like it.

[simpletimes222]

@MexCan65 We have that here but its called the DLR which runs in the Docklands/East London

[72mrblue]

@MexCan65 you wont be laughing when the machines take over

[Roeshamboe05]

What the crap why does that kid have such a realistic looking knife toy? 

[the82spartans]

For the love of Christ the kid is like any other kid and to say he'll grow up to be shot or 'involved in a knife crime' is completely idiotic.

[jerrythehuman]

Whats up with the knife??? 0:35

[Razorfish]

Of course the union accused management. That's what unions do.

[2009cws]

What a fucking joke london transport is northern line closed the WHOLE weekend and not even rail replacement buses WTF is that about prices are EXTREAMLY high and they can't even be bothered to provide an even good service. Thats my plans messed up for the weekend thanks TFL FUCKING MONEY GRABBING ASSHOLES

[IvoSimeonov]

Pease everyone raging about the knife... IT WAS RUBBER! Probably her kid's toy. You can CLEARLY see it bending on one of the ads placed on the metal line between the two escalators.

[Cssfiend]

@IvoSimeonov that isnt the point, why would some one with even half a brain; A, give their child a realistic looking combat knife to play with and B, carry it openly in public and in a tube station especially.

I had plastic swords and such as a child, never a plastic bowie knife - because thankfully my parents recognized what an innapropriate thing that is too give to a child. That womans behaviour is going to lead either to her getting shot or her son growing up to be involved in knife crime.

[MexCan65]

...but who the hell gives their kids knives and guns to play with today?

[rugbyf0rlife]

@MexCan65

its training, for when the kids become the new youth, even more violent than the youth we currently have

[ascolti]

@IvoSimeonov Totally rubber. What are people on!?

[ImMr1337]

Holy shit! Lady at 0:32 has a knife!

[NAMLegolas]

Holy shit, Did I just see a woman with a big ass knife on her hand!?

[SimeonBates]

i love the way that lady had a plastic knife in her hand on the way down the escalator.

[meefefe]

LOL 0:30 to 0:35 = knife?!

[Abebil3]

@meefefe Yes it's a knife, a plastic one.

[GeneralVariety]

@meefefe hahahaha!!

[oismackhead]

@VIRUS187online LOL!

[ColinSWiseman]

@meefefe it looks like a rubber knife... it bent as it caught on something

[andyrccar]

@meefefe well spotted !

[BigMrFirebird]

Packed in like sardines.

[nanomonk]

[bmwnasher]

I am not a train driver but this cant happen dont the brakes come on when they un couple and if it was an engine they have got a dead man device..Lets have the whole story?

[tlndofa]
