In Seoul, South Korea, a 20-year-old office worker who was arriving to work in the morning at Sadang Station on Line 4 was trapped between the train and the platform door when the platform door closed.
According to MBC on the 16th, Mr. A, an office worker who was waiting in line to transfer to Line 4 at Sadang Station on Line 2 while arriving to work on the 12th, was unable to get into the train as usual when the train arrived.
I tried. However, while Mr. A was not on the train, the door suddenly closed and the platform door also closed immediately. In the space of about 50 cm between the platform door and the train door.
He was trapped. Mr. A said he thought both doors would open immediately, but the train departed without either opening.
Mr. A recalled that time, ``I was so scared, thinking, ``I'm about to die.''
After the train passed, Mr. A tried to open the emergency door installed on the platform door, but it did not open easily and he was able to push the platform door open on both sides and barely escape on his own.
Mr. A complained to the Seoul Transportation Corporation about how something like this could happen, but the corporation said, ``If you are standing near the door of a train, there are some blind spots where the obstacle sensor cannot detect.''
``In particular, the 1-1 and 10-4 platforms are managed by installing double sensors.'' Later, during an interview, the public corporation said, ``Although we simultaneously sent the ``train departure possible'' and ``human detection'' signals,
"Only the signal indicating that it was possible to depart was processed, and I did not know that there were people in between." On the other hand, over the five-year period from 2019 to last year, safety accidents that occurred on the Seoul subway were caused by people getting caught in doors.
