Volvobrick Supersonic October 23, 2014 Share October 23, 2014 https://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/what-is-buzzing/-human-tetris--takes-place-on-jammed-lakeside-mrt-platform-031532683.html A video of passengers crashing against one another at the top of an escalator leading to the platform of a train station in Singapore is moving quickly on social media, prompting questions about the responsiveness of staff there. The 36-second video, posted by Facebook user Joel Rasis, shows commuters arriving at the platform of Lakeside MRT station from an up-riding escalator, but because the area appears to be full, they promptly end up sandwiched between one another. This goes on continuously for at least 25 seconds before the camera pans down to the ticket concourse level, where staff appear to have just stopped commuters from stepping onto the escalator. A report on the incident in citizen journalism portal STOMP quoted Rasis as saying there was a train fault affecting eastbound service at about 7:40am on Tuesday. What happened was commuters were instructed to get off the train, and at the very same time, a new batch of commuters were heading to the platform on the escalator, he reportedly said. There was basically no more space on the platform, he added, noting that the next train toward Pasir Ris only arrived about 20 minutes later.

Watch the video here: I believe they should have an SOP that when there's a train fault and passengers are asked to disembark and knowing that it was a working day peak hour, MRT staff should have been deployed immediately for crowd control ie not allowing more passengers to go up the escalator. To compound it, this is an overhead station so I'm not sure if it can hold the weight of so many passengers. I don't normally like to finger point after an incident happens but this incident really got no excuse cos it's a no-brainer on what should have been done and quick response is paramount.
