Title: Accident on Chinese subway.
Post by: broadgage on December 15, 2023, 12:08:46
No fatalities reported, but hundreds injured, and about 100 detained in hospital.
Images show a train divided, and reports refer to a collision, it is not clear whether the collision led to the train becoming divided, or vice versa.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-67724238 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-67724238)

Later reports on lunchtime TV news suggest that the accident was caused by the extreme cold weather affecting the region, down to about minus 40  degrees.
