Smoke in the subway: panic among passengers after dangerous incident!

A disturbing incident occurred on Thursday morning when the U3 passengers in Vienna were suddenly frightened by a dense cloud of smoke at 6:12 a.m. The train driver acted quickly and stopped at the next station, which caused passengers to be evacuated for security reasons. Initial studies showed that the smoke came from a balloon that caught in the pantograph, which the Viennese lines confirmed in a message. This led to a short-term standstill of the subway, until the situation was under control, reports Today.at .

rapid all -clear by fire brigade

The alarmed emergency services from the Vienna Lines and the Vienna professional fire brigade were able to quickly give the all -clear. With the help of thermal imaging cameras, the Florianis checked whether there were still open dangers on the train. Fortunately, there was no further damage, and the amount of smoke was the only evil caused by the balloon. There were only half an hour delays in subway traffic before the company could be taken up normally at 6:45 a.m.

Such an incident in which smoke is created by a balloon may seem harmless at first glance, but it illustrates the potential risks in public transport. In addition to the physical smoke, the risk of panic among passengers should not be underestimated, which underlines the need for a quick and effective reaction. What started as an innocent fun caused a short -term excitement in the underground of Vienna, as Words.net describes.
