Athens Metro stuck in tunnel; passengers walk to next station using mobile-phones as flashlight

The incident occured at 9:30 am Wednesday, underground Athens 200 meter away from Attiki Station. The company sent another metro wagon to “push” the immobilized one but the experiment apparently did not work.

Speaking to Newsit.gr, chairman of Metro workers union STASY said that the metro wagons were recently delivered and there was no obvious reason for a mechanical failure.
