In South Korea, a subway driver caused a collapse by going to the restroom

About 125 trains were delayed on the Seoul subway during the morning rush hour on the ring line because the driver went to the restroom. This was reported by The Sun.

The man was not in place for about four minutes, as a result, the delay in transportation was about 25 minutes. The drivers on the circular routes in Seoul work for two or three hours without breaks, so they can leave only at intermediate stations.

According to the Seoul Metro, despite the situation, disruptions in train traffic were minimized and most passengers were still able to reach their destinations with minor inconvenience.

Earlier, on November 20, five subway stations were closed in Vienna after a special train without passengers caught fire. The cause of the fire is unknown, work was carried out to remove the affected train from the tracks and rails.
