Maybe the fire engine arrive with SCDF equipment to push the train up to take the corpse out?

Or maybe cock up by SCDF? They dispatch a fire engine instead of an ambulance?

Interception_7 SG

QX179R may answer that question.

I guess fire engine is dispatched as they may have the necessary tools to remove the man trapped under the train. I doubt an ambulance would have those kind of tools.

i really hope that the HHPSDs would set up soon,so that lesser of these cases would happen.

as I've mentioned in the previous page, a SRT together with a PL was dispatched to this incident so that they can free the body which was trapped underneath the train arriage..

ambulance must also be dispatched in the event of the person that jumped but is still alive but if its vice versa, then the EAS crew must pronounce that person is dead & time of death which will then the case will be handed over to the police..

Eastbound train services between Eunos and Tanah Merah were disrupted for slightly more than a hour this afternoon when a man was hit by a train a Bedok MRT Station.

SMRT said the incident happened at about 1.45pm.

The train operator said to maintain service on the unaffected stretches of the East-West line during the incident, all eastbound trains were turned around at Eunos MRT Station.

Some westbound trains were turned around at Tanah Merah MRT Station.

Westbound train services were not affected.

Normal eastbound train services resumed at about 3.00pm.

SMRT also deployed bus bridging services to ferry passengers between Eunos and Tanah Merah MRT stations during the train service disruption.

About 6,500 passengers were affected during the incident.

SMRT said passengers were informed of the service disruption and the free bus services through announcements, notices and the rail travel information system at affected stations.

Passengers who were unable to complete their journeys due to the disruption can claim a full fare refund from the Passenger Service Centre in any of the 69 SMRT stations, within the next three working days.

Hope SMRT can start charging the deceased for suicides that lead to service disruptions.

In Japan, the deceased has to pay for all losses borned by the transport operators if they attempt suicide on their tracks.

Else, commuters will end up paying more due to the irresponsibilities of these people, where bridging buses have to be catered, while causing SMRT to make losses for that period.

To all these people who wants to suicide, please sucidie in a gracious manner, do not suicide in the transport system, suicide by breathing carbon monoxide please. Thank you for keeping the streets and tracks clean.

Should be , depends on which station you are on.

The biggest stops were at Commonwealth, Jurong East (there was a large gang of staff gossiping in some sort of Chinese at the platform), Chinese Garden, and Lakeside. Every single time the TO had to make an announcement apologizing for the slight delay.
