MRT down - why???


when you buy a lottery, you hope to strike first prize....when you take an MRT, you do not want to get stuck...

but stuck, he did get. at the city-hall station, 6.49am this morning.

he was taking a MRT to esplanade to meet up with the pentax kaki's for the morning shoot in the bay area. when the MRT was travelling below the orchard road, his sight happened to rest on the route-map on upper edge of the vertical wall of the car. the map displayed with a red LED of the alighting station. but when it travelled past dhobi gaut, the red LED shld light up at the next station, ie CITY-HALL, but it stayed lighted on DHOBI GAUT..... and the train stopped at city-hall, but the LED still stay lighted on dhobi gaut.... the doors just stayed shut..... all just stayed quiet, and waited... a few more minutes, a red-shirted MRT man came out from the driver-cabin, and tried to open the car door, but it didn't budge. he opened the panel on top of the door, flipped some switches... tried again to open the door. it stay shut.... he used both hands to pry it open. it didn't moved a bit.... he opened the driver cabin door and let the passengers out.

why no uninterrupted power supply?
why car-door cannot be opened during emergency?
why 3 breakdowns in one week?

and he recorded the incident in video as well....
