”Why won't you open the door?” Passengers trapped in subway yell - South Korea

"Wait a minute, don't push," "Why won't you open the door?" Passengers who were temporarily trapped inside the subway when a fire broke out on the No. 5 subway line on the morning of the 31st ran around in confusion.
That day, Mr. A told E-Daily, "Smoke came out and the subway stopped, and passengers opened the doors on their own. There was no announcement made, so no one knew what to do."
"Mr. A was on his way to work on a holiday, and the subway stopped on his way to Mapo Station. There was a smell of smoke and the train stopped for 10 minutes.
They opened the door on their own and began to escape to the basement. Mr. A joined the procession, moving in the opposite direction to the Yeouinaru side, and was finally able to get out.
The first call was received by 119 at 8:43 a.m. on the same day. As a result, the train was stopped 300 meters before entering Mapo Station.

Kim Jin-cheol, head of the fire administration division at Mapo Fire Station, said at a press conference at the scene, "A considerable number of people were killed when they entered the train.
"The passengers had been evacuated," he said. "The engineer and some passengers had put out the fire themselves with fire extinguishers before the fire engines arrived, so the fire was well extinguished and no firefighting efforts were required."
The arsonist was arrested by the police at around 9:45 a.m. and admitted to the charges. The fire department deployed 289 personnel and 84 fire engines and other equipment on that day.
The fire was declared at 10:24 a.m. According to fire authorities, about 400 people were on board the subway where the fire occurred that day, and passengers got off the train and evacuated through the tunnel.
