It all happened so fast, in a split second, Sausan said. There were two announcements from the commuter train. Everyone was ready to get off, and then suddenly there was the sound of the locomotive, really loud, she said."
"Thank God I was on top, so I could be evacuated quickly, Sausan said. She feared suffocating to death in the human pile-up, and worried that some pinned underneath did not survive. I don't know how the person underneath me is doing."
"According to Franoto Wibowo, a spokesperson for rail operator KAI, a taxi appeared to have clipped the commuter train on a level crossing, causing it to come to a standstill on the tracks, where it was hit."
