[단독] 또 스크린 도어 사고..."사람이 끼었는데도 운행" / YTN (Yes! Top News)

[Anchor] Another incident occurred where a passenger was trapped between a subway car and a platform door, yet the subway continued to run. The passenger was trapped in the narrow gap between the platform door and the platform door for nearly five minutes, but Korail failed to take any action, nearly leading to a major accident. This is an exclusive report by reporter Cha Jeong-yoon. [Reporter] Office worker Lee Sang-seol still shudders when he thinks back to the morning of last Lunar New Year. He spent a nightmarish time trapped in the narrow gap between the platform door and the platform door. On the 28th of last month, Lee arrived at Singil Station on Line 1 for work as usual. Fearing he might be late for work, he hurriedly jumped into the platform, but when the doors closed, he was trapped. The train suddenly attempted to move, and he managed to free himself. However, the platform door at the back of the train had already closed, leaving him stranded. Even though Mr. Lee was trapped between the door and the screen door, the train continued moving. While Mr. Lee was precariously standing on the narrow railing for nearly five minutes, KORAIL took no action. What's even more absurd is that the next train, even after noticing Mr. Lee standing on the railing, forced its way onto the platform. [Lee Sang-seol / Passenger involved in the accident: I think I avoided the train by pressing my body as close as possible to the screen door. I was extremely scared and psychologically unstable, and I still feel the aftereffects.] This is where Mr. Lee escaped. I measured the width with a ruler and found it to be less than 40cm, which could have easily led to a major accident. KORAIL stated that they found no abnormalities with the screen door and are currently investigating the cause of the accident. [KORAIL official: We need to look into what the problem was. We need to investigate further to determine if the problem is the screen door or something else.] Mr. Lee, who suffered not only psychological shock but also bruises on his chest and back, filed a complaint with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Last October, a man was dragged 7 meters to his death after being caught between a screen door at Gimpo Airport Station. However, criticism is growing that the subway system's lack of safety awareness remains.
