minus-squareAutoTL;DR@lemmings.worldBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·11 months agoThis is the best summary I could come up with: A rush hour collision between two subway trains in Beijing has left 102 people with broken bones, Chinese state media reported. While such accidents are not common on the Chinese capital’s transport network, snowstorms reportedly led to slippery tracks. This then caused a “signal degradation” which led the first train to brake suddenly, China Daily reported, citing Beijing transport authorities. Images and footage posted online show commuters crowded in carriages, left in the dark due to power cuts. In a clip posted on Chinese social media network Weibo, a woman who appears to have fainted is seen lying across several train seats. Beijing Subway apologised for the incident, adding that the company will cover the medical bills of those injured. The original article contains 433 words, the summary contains 120 words. Saved 72%.
