Train crash

Train crash between Bandung and Jakarta, 28th of June 2002. A larger boulder had been placed on the track and the front two carriages ended up on their side stranding all the passengers in the middle of nowhere for many hours. Eventually all were rescued by another train sent from Jakarta. All the people on the first train had to climb out of the first train and aboard the replacement (not easy without a platform). The trip took 8.5 hours with the delay but at the other end all were given an instant cash refund and a Dunkin' Donut in compensation! The crash made the national Indonesia news.
