Crises on trains...

This morning's ride was somewhat eventful. A passenger's phone started burning at one of the stops. A Samsung,for anyone who's interested.

The reactions of fellow passengers was mixed and interesting. Some bolted, most just got out of the immediate vicinity. The train stayed at the station for a few minutes while the smoke cleared.

Had it happened while the train was in motion, I find myself wondering how things would've played out though. Or, for that matter, if it'd been a "real" fire. That prompted me to look for and ask about the emergency buttons on the train.

For reference, on the Denver RTD light rail trains, they're over the doors.
