Two MRT falling incidents on Xmas day
'Severed leg was lying on tracks'
EARLY morning drama gripped two MRT stations in the north yesterday.

EARLY morning drama gripped two MRT stations in the north yesterday.
At 9.43am, the southbound train service between Yew Tee and Woodlands was disrupted when the train driver spotted someone falling onto the tracks at Kranji station, said a Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) spokesman.
But police, SCDF and SMRT staff couldn't find anyone after an extensive search of the area.
Mr Tan Hoo Huat, 51, who runs a sundry shop at the station's ground level said that police had asked him if he had seen a man fall onto the tracks.
Normal train services resumed at 10.53am. But within minutes, it was disrupted again. This time, there was an incident at the Marsiling MRT station, one stop away from Kranji MRT station.
At 11.12am, witnesses saw a man fall onto the tracks at the station.
The man lost part of his leg after being hit by a train.
Cleaner Abdul Malik, 48, was near the platform when he heard screams and turned to see the train stop abruptly.
He said: 'The train had just pulled into the station but halted. I think someone punched the emergency buttons.
'I looked over the platform and saw a man's leg from the knee onwards on the tracks near the front of the train.
'My first thought was this man must have been crushed and died.'
But the man survived the hit.
Witnesses described him as being in his late 40s. He was conscious while being carried out on a stretcher.
An SCDF spokesman said: 'Our officers searched the scene and we found a man trapped under the train. A part of his left leg was already severed by the impact. SCDF officers immediately removed him.'
The man was rushed to National University Hospital (NUH). The severed left leg was retrieved and packed in a bag of ice and also sent to NUH. At the hospital, his wife and teenage daughter were too distraught to speak.
The disruption caused frazzled nerves on Christmas day. SMRT estimated that 5,400 passengers were affected. Buses were deployed to ferry passengers out of the affected stations.
SMRT said those unable to complete their journeys because of the disruptions can claim a full refund from the Passenger Service Centre of any MRT station within the next three working days.

The chio mei mei could be playing a fool near the door wif her friends. ( My opinion only, dun sue me later on )CCTV will show everything.
Btw, to prevent the door kiap you, PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO ENTER THE TRAIN WHEN YOU HEAR THE DOOR CLOSING SOUND GOES OFF LIKE THIS = DOORS CLOSING, PLS STAND CLEAR OF DOORS DU DU DU DU DU. Or you can see the bright red LED lighted above the platform screendoors. Its RED in colours. Unless you colour blind.

Freed at last...leg stuck in MRT gap
The anguish is still written all over this girl's face as she is being wheeled out of Bugis MRT Station, after her left leg got stuck in the gap between the platform and the train.
STOMPer Lynette sent these photos taken at about 5.10pm yesterday (Dec 27).
"SCDF team helped girl get out of the accident at Bugis MRT station. Train service was delayed for around 15 to 20 minutes," Lynette said in an email.
STOMP contacted the Singapore Civil Defence Force, which said it received a call for help at 5.02pm.
"We sent one fire engine, one ambulance and five support appliances. We arrived in four minutes," a spokesman said.
"A girl's left leg was trapped between the platform and the train. Civil defence personnel used a hydraulic spreader cutter to widen the gap between the train and the platform and free her in 10 minutes," the spokesman said.
The girl, a student, suffered bruises and was sent to the Singapore General Hospital.
The train service between Aljunied and Outram Park stations was delayed for about 20 minutes before resuming at about 5.15pm.
