A Crowd of Passengers at a Perth, Australia Transit Station Tilt a Train to Free a Man’s Trapped Leg

A large crowd of passengers at the Perth, Australia Public Transit Authority station joined forces to help tilt a train car after a man slipped and trapped his leg between the train and platform. After spotting the man trapped in the doorway, Transit Authority staff alerted the driver to not move the train and then organized passengers on the platform to push the car, eventually freeing the passenger, identified only as “Andy,” from the gap.

It was people power that saved someone from possibly quite serious injury
