“It makes me happy to see all the people tried to save her.” “Gee I'm so glad I didn't see someone get killed although her fall alone could have killed her, she hit those tracks hard. Unbelievably the train actually slowed to a stop in time, paying attention to standbyers” said another user. Another user commented that “2019 and train stations still have no protection railings”.

Another user said, “Surprised people actually helping instead of pulling these phones and start recording like the usual”. "That's why I never rush to be the first in line when waiting for the train," said another user.

Another user said that "I think he  "fainted" just for 5 sec. If you focus on that guy, after fainting he crawls a little bit towards the edge of the platform, and then he suddenly he gets upright and stands against the stairs wall. Seems  fake fainting."
