Not as spectacular as the clown who dissolved himself in a pool of boiling water
My 'tasting funny' comment was a gag. Sorry it was too subtle for some. It comes from an old gag. A couple of cannibals are eating a freshly boiled clown, one says to the other "does this taste funny to you?".
Doesn't say much for the level of safety compliance
Doesn't say much for the person.
You make something safe, some idiot will find a way of using that "safety" in a dangerous way - I.e. By pushing their hand into a closing door because it was too far closed for them to get in.

The passenger should be fined.
Agree totally, people are stupid. Answer was a bit tongue in cheek. However if something gets caught in the doors you would expect them to either open, or or emergency brake to kick in.

No can do, otherwise the trains would never leave because the late people on the platform would continue to hold them up. If you know the train will not move provided you can get something in to jam the door, then it will have to wait at the station until there is no one near the platform.

Around 11:30, I realized I hadn't heard Cowboy on the line with a report about Sassine Street. I asked on the app if we had had any update.
My phone rang. It was Cowboy.
"We got to Sassine. It's confirmed."
"Confirmed?" I frantically asked. "Confirmed what? What does that mean? Does that mean they're dead?"
"Yes. Water past the roof. They never left the attic. We sent divers in."
During flooding do not move from the first floor into the attic / loft, get on to the roof...
