Walking through the métro tunnel

A few minutes before 14h, the car's lights shut off and it coasted to a stop between Place St-Henri and Vendôme going in direction Côte Vertu. After a few minutes, we were told we would be evacuated.

This is us walking along the tunnel.

Whoa. That's intense. People were panicking a bit even on my metro, and there was nothing to get upset about there at all.

I was on a car that stopped between Vendôme and Côte-Vertu. They evacuated us to station Vendôme by foot.

I was headed to Snowdon, and saw the ambulances there, but when I was in the car, they just said it was an "accident."

The passageway they make you walk on is so fucking narrow I wonder what FAT people would do and handicapped or old people on the metro, these tunnels are fucking huge how the fuck do people crawling like snails on the video must take 6 hours to get to the station I can't believe in 2011 there is no alternative way or much bigger passeway, why the HELL did they even make them this small.

Also why don't people walk on the large cement area between tracks ??? there is no current !!!

@angelita11117282 That's awful. I know on another day(I think it was Wednesday Jan 19, 2011) they stopped the metro on the orange line at 8:40am and then at 5:40pm

[angelita11117282]

yeah they don't want to say the real reason to create panic! Cuz when the guy jumped under my metro, all the people who were waiting to get into the train saw him jump. They were sreaming and crying!! It was awful even if i didnt see that guy jump
