‘We’re Trapped Like Sardines in the Darkness’

Over eight million households across Chile remained unpowered on Tuesday afternoon after a korsicity power line failed mostly in the country.

In the capital, Santiago, the entire system of train under suspended was almost immediately suspended. Thousands of people need to evacuate and stations fall into the dark.

“We are like sardines in the dark,” a passenger described once their underground train stopped.

Most of those were within the stations when the power cut had occurred should be released by firefighters.

A woman at the age of 70s is trapped in a lift between two floors of a building in Santiago.

He told the local media that he “kicked the door” to the liver to get the attention of his condition and his screams at the end of the concierge.

“I’m brave, I told myself that ‘I don’t die here’,” he said.

Social media videos also showed meters passemers using the flashlights on mobile phones to find their exit in black stations.

According to Metro de Santiago, evacuation underground under 90 minutes after the electric cut – but the destruction caused by the outage to be carried out in many hours.

150 additional buses provided by ferry passengers are not adequate enough to make the metro suspension, which leads to an average 2.3m passengers per day.

Long queues are formed at bus stops, where passengers are increasingly angry when buses stop.

Soon their terms flowed into workers sent early to the house because most of the offices were paralyzed by lack of electricity.

“The power went out at 3:00, so we had no power,” a salesman in James said. “People start closing around 4 or 5pm.”

The capital traffic is more likely to disrupt the failure of many traffic lights.

A truck collides with a car at a crossing where traffic lights do not and have reports at least an accident causing traffic lights.

With Gridlock gets worse, thousands of people are forced to walk their destinations at summer temperatures at about 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit).

One of them, Sharon Ortiz, a 28-year-old waitress in the waitress, says that the public transportation system “collapses”.

“I have to work two hours late, I quit between Cosanera (Shopping Center) and from there I need to walk,” he said.

Some people hit the trucks behind the trucks.

Restaurants and cafes are one of the businesses affected by the cut of energy.

Some remain open to offer walking houses in a resting place, but many are closed because cash machines, card engines do not work.

Some of the most motivated scenes stretched out in Fantasilandia, a park at Santiago, where at least one dozen people were bound to a rollercoaster.

Fantasildia manager says that while the park has backup workerators, attractions do not immediately restart for security reasons.

Hospitals relied on emergency generators for power.
