Atonchia Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Seems like they were supposed to do something on one track (which was shut down) then for whatever reason crossed into the opposite track which still had trains running? They didn't cross the track and they took the right path. The train was also in the right direction. Just a very sad accident that took place.

Pinobii Hypersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 This CEO needs to go Despite all the attention on SMRT, more and worst incidents are happening, obviously something somewhere is wrong and not getting the fix There could 101 reasons given for this incident but as the CEO, he is in charge and he should be held accountable Btw, he hasnt shown his problem solving capability up to now 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Station control would have to be informed if any person is down checking the track, so when trains coming in will be asked to slow down. Someone sleeping. Errrrr....... maybe Walkie Talkie battery flat, so unable to communicate....... See, if someone wants to get you by hp and can't reach you, simple excuse is battery flat...

Count-Bracula Twincharged March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 I need bros' assistance to help me understand the following phrase: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/standard-protocol-for/2626070.html "Normally when that happens there's track access, they request for track authorisation from the Operations Control Centre. When given, they will then proceed to the track. In this instance, that was given. The power was supposed to be switched off when they reached the location but unfortunately the accident happened before they actually reached the site where they were supposed to do the investigation," he said." so...what happens if the power was switched off? the train would not move anymore? if not, does that mean that the procedure to prevent accidents from happening is inherently dangerous? the purpose of their going to the track is described as "investigation". does that mean they were not supposed to have done anything that could have changed the outcome of events? there is a logical leap which i cannot follow. please enlighten me. It is very congfusing, smoke grenade if you ask me. Why is the frickin switch not in the station control but 150m away from the station? So if emergency and need to power down, someone have to run 150m?? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othello Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 No, train was moving into the station. Desmond Kuek said such practices have been carried out routinely. OMFG !!! SMRT have been routinely ENDANGERING the lives of their staff 0.5m width is quite narrow if you ask me, and from the pics, there were certain parts with no barriers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alheych 6th Gear March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 It is very congfusing, smoke grenade if you ask me. Why is the frickin switch not in the station control but 150m away from the station? So if emergency and need to power down, someone have to run 150m?? exactly. i quote again: The power was supposed to be switched off when they reached the location but unfortunately the accident happened before they actually reached the site where they were supposed to do the investigation. so they are switching off or doing investigation?

Donut Supercharged March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 I just realise that these 2 guys only joined in Jan, which means they are still under probation. (If SMRT has probationary policy) And knowing the crappy employment contract these days, I doubt they are adequately covered ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
