It just showed how smart all those old-birds hiding in SMRT are.
On pretext of OJT, these 2 young, new-birds were sent on highly life-threatening tasks. And were sent to their deaths!
So where along the line, someone dropped the ball in ensuring on-coming trains are warned of track inspection, or even halted.
And in broad daylight with a train driver right in front. With so clear a view, why doesn't the driver applied emergency brake when train is still slowly pulling out if station? Brakes failed too or driver sleeping? More likely emergency brakes failed as train just pulled out of station.
Let's wait and see how the saga unfold. Worst case, some junior supvisors will be 'severely warned'.
Life goes on in SMRT thereafter with their CEO collecting millions without even moving their fingers in this case.
