London tube passengers smash windows to escape smoke-filled carriages
Telegraph, 06 May 2023
Passengers appear to have been forced to smash the windows of a London Underground train to escape as smoke filled the carriages.
In videos circulating on social media, workmen can be seen outside a train at Clapham Common Station smashing through the windows with hammers to help people get out of the tube.
Witnesses sharing videos on Twitter claimed that the doors would not open as smoke travelled through the carriages, with others criticising the response from station staff.
