"Eyewitness News reported that a rescue train picked up the passengers and brought them to the platform. The news outlet said a mother whose teenage son was on the train anxiously waited for him to arrive safely. He's hyperventilating, panicking. And I'm just waiting for my son to go to the train right now, she said. Honestly, I've been standing here for over an hour waiting for my son to get off this train, and he's 14 years old."
