YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) – Services resumed Sunday after over 1,000 passengers were trapped for nearly two hours in a train Saturday night near Tokyo, with some complaining of heatstroke and hyperventilation after it crashed into a power pole that had fallen onto the tracks, local authorities said.
Huh. I’ve spent only 0.035% of my life in Japan, but I was on that train (or at least that line) last year. Glad nobody was seriously hurt.
The odds… Glad you were safe too.
TBF the train to Haneda on my exit was delayed by two hours, also. But that was due to a couple of drunk caucasians running around on the tracks.
