the platforms 328 00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:08,639 Road somebody died because the platforms 329 00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:10,149 Road somebody died because the platforms were so narrow sometimes passengers 330 00:08:10,149 --> 00:08:10,159 were so narrow sometimes passengers 331 00:08:10,159 --> 00:08:12,110 were so narrow sometimes passengers would wait on the tracks actually stand 332 00:08:12,110 --> 00:08:12,120 would wait on the tracks actually stand 333 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,589 would wait on the tracks actually stand on the tracks and when the train 334 00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:13,599 on the tracks and when the train 335 00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:15,189 on the tracks and when the train approached everybody would then get out 336 00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:15,199 approached everybody would then get out 337 00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:17,110 approached everybody would then get out the way and obviously it didn't take too 338 00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:17,120 the way and obviously it didn't take too 339 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,990 the way and obviously it didn't take too long for somebody one week to not get 340 00:08:18,990 --> 00:08:19,000 long for somebody one week to not get 341 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,869 long for somebody one week to not get out the way in the train just squished 342 00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:20,879 out the way in the train just squished 343 00:08:20,879 -->
