Article: Subways collide at Sangwangsimni Station... passengers injured

Allegedly, one subway train was on stand by because something was wrong with it but the train behind it kept going and collided.
1. [+956, -34] I guess anyone living in Korea has to figure out for themselves how to escape in a situation of emergency ã… .ã…
2. [+922, -22] My friend was on this. He said that they never made any announcements and passengers weren't able to get off until a soldier opened the doors. People got off without knowing what was going on...
3. [+840, -43] I heard that no one on the subway made an announcement and it wasn't until a male passenger opened the doors that passengers were able to leave. Some of the floors are covered in blood. I really don't understand what the subway staff were doing at this time... How upsetting.

2. [+8,785, -147] I just hope there aren't casualties..
3. [+7,737, -166] We must all learn to protect ourselves ã… ã…
4. [+6,964, -252] Articles earlier said there were only 40 injured............
5. [+6,112, -525] Why are there only bad things happening in 2014 ã… ã…
6. [+2,045, -29] People ran out as soon as the accident happened because they know what happened with the Sewol Ferry
7. [+1,944, -19] At least they were able to open the doors themselves and leave. We all need to be proactive.
8. [+1,810, -56] I was on the subway at the time of the accident. What happened was that the links connecting the subways broke off, not that another subway collided into one on stand by!! The accident occurred not as a result of the driver's mistake but because the subways were not put through proper safety tests!!!
9. [+1,550, -83] 2014 has to be the worst year for Korea
10. [+1,351, -63] I'm just afraid that it'll say injuries now only to be deaths later
