Internet’s reactions: “That's why entering elevated metros is better. You can just get down in an emergency and it wouldn't be as dark as inside a tunnel. They cost way less to make and are better against floods,” a user said. “Thank god these people were not inside a tunnel or something,” commented the next person.ALSO READ: Metro Halted, Homes Dark: How One Transformer Blast Brought Gurgaon To A Standstill “This looks very scary.
