Video Resources for Writing: Trapped in the MRT / Train Breakdown
(This video complements 'Selected Reading Materials: Trapped in the MRT / Train Breakdown')
As I was preparing 'Selected Reading Material 3: Trapped in the MRT / Train Breakdown', I realized that most of us will have absolutely no idea what it was like to be trapped in the MRT carriages. So after browsing through many videos, I finally found one that has been properly edited and does not contain inappropriate language or is from a questionable source.
The only catch is that it is in Chinese but has good subtitles (Use 'Full-Screen' to see subtitles clearly). Do pause appropriately to catch the subtitles if necessary. However, do be take note that the video is meant as a visual stimulant to help writers visualize the content they can use for their composition.

What to look out for:
1) Winding queues for the shuttle buses. taxis outside the train stations 2) Footage of situation in the train carriages 3) Footage of commuters walking in the underground tunnels to the nearest stations 4) Feelings of the commuters interviewed 5) What the authorities planned to do to prevent similar incidents from occurring again |
