Article seems disappointed that no one was killed.

How do we know it was signal failure - not an operator asleep at the throttle?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Subway trains crash in South Korean

"An incoming train crashed into one that was stopped at the station," fire department official Kim Kyung-su told a news conference.

About 1,000 people were evacuated, Kim said.

Seoul Metro official Chung Soo-young said the accident was caused by a signal failure and that two subway cars were derailed.
