MRT commuters were seen rushing towards the exits of the MRT train today, November 4, as posted by netizen John Gelano.
In the video posted by @gelanisimo, scores of MRT riders immediately jumped at the opportunity to head out the train which John mentioned had emitted thick smoke following a loud bang that made it hard to breathe inside the train.
“Something exploded on that station. i was there. listening to khalid on max when i heard a loud bang. then everybody started screaming SUMASABOG ANG TREN PALABASIN NIYO kame. the smoke is thick we cant breathe,” tweeted Gelano.
