Xers007 Supercharged March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 "The train was being driven automatically and was travelling at 60kmh coming into Pasir Ris MRT station when it hit the two men, he said." This is really hazardous work man, with only 0.5m of walkway with those rocks laying everywhere and train flying in at 60km/h (even with staff on the track?), a slip is very possible. Also walking in a single file, if the 1st man is tall those behind will have their vision blocked by him. Dont tell me 1 supervisor led 14 OJT men on the track to train them ah ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weez911 Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 This is damn sad news. It must be horrific when the event unfolded. May their departed souls rest in peace, and may the families find peace and comfort. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xers007 Supercharged March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 I also heard CCL got slight delayed due to a fault earlier and when the train comes it closes its door on commuter before the door closing announcement was made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 (edited) My question to Desmond fxxk kuek! Have you ever tried personally walking on the track where train coming at 60km/h? Hope you read this post. Train pulling into station, slowing down already generating such big draft. Never hear of the word domino effect. Walking on single file some more. It really show what kind of brain they are harbouring in their head. The more I read this news the more angry I get.

Ktglfc Hypersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Until the facts of the case are clarified, I do not think it is fair or proper to be baying for the resignation of Ministers, CEOs or anyone else. Totally agreed Let's refrain from commenting too much until they explain the whole thing... and do spare a thought for the families of the deceased ...

Count-Bracula Twincharged March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 I think may be due to lack of communication! 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bystander50 5th Gear March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Just saw this Something is very wrong here. Both were new hires and on OJT, yet no supervisor around to guide them. This is considered a high risk environment and they are so confident to let 2 newbies work on their own. Dare not think when SIA allows those on OJT to service the aircrafts without proper supervision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 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. This kind of safety protocol is standard. If you have your people walking along a track, absolutely no train is allowed to move there. It's like if you have workers changing power lines. Absolutely, every circuit there must be turned off before the work can begin. Or working in a shipyard, hot work can only be allowed when all safety protocols are observed. This is simply a breach in safety protocol, assuming there's one in SMRT. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Smrt prove me wrong if you dare. " we will relook at the safety protocol. Safety is our utmost concern. The negligent personnel/s have been severely deal with by warning and monetary diciplined. The names shall not be reveal to protect theor family members". The SGH, mindef (smoke grenade case).

The article did state they were part of a team that went down to the tracks. So there should be other technicians or supervisor around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to read that 2 techs died on the track. RIP and condolences to the families. The problem is probably the train running on automatic mode when maintenance was given a green light to go ahead. No driver in the train can pose a serious threat. But still need investigations to complete before concluding what happened. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless 2, 3 or even last. They should not be allowed onto the track. Since young we were all taught not to stand too near the road kerb. Car might knock us down. Correct me if I am wrong. Ok nothing much to cmoment here. Except to accept the fact and move on. Edited March 22, 2016 by Kopites 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
