A sea of people stuck in the Central MTR station in Hong Kong shortly after a typhoon signal no. 8 is announced. The MTR system breaks down -- trains find it hard to close doors, escalators are halted, and passageways are blocked with people trying to get home.

  • ROFL! I was there with my mom and my cousz. We came back from this mall and when we got downstairs, it was plain terrible. There was this guy exclaiming in Chinese "WATCH OUT MY BAG MY BAG!!!" and a lot of people were like FK OFF!! :P But anyways, it was hard to get in those trains. When i got to Tsim Tsa Tsui, it was prettey clear :P Lol and to add to jam, there was a lock down so they prevented people getiin in lol which flooded the whole dam ass system :P

  • and i was there on that day. i took about an hour from Central to Tsuen Wan, almost dobuled time then the norm

  • most people here head for the harbour-crossing tsuen wan line

  • Typhoon in Hong Kong is not like Hurricane in the US. It's the same wind speed but far less damage and less people hurt. It's very rare that anybody gets hurt. At warning level 8 all offices close and everybody goes home - or to karaoke to spend the night.

  • poor people... thank God i wasn't there. but i just hope everything went okay and nobody was hurt...

  • I LOVE THIS :D

  • damn ak scouts

  • HAHA i love hongkong...

  • but it was the best things in my life LOL ill rmb it
