Isnt there an electrocution hazard??
Virtually every subway in the world deals with so much water daily that they have breakers in place for that.
Many systems would flood naturally in days if they lost pumping capacity.
I suspect the electricity is completely shorted via the water. I guess the fuse powering the entire subway line has actually blown/tripped.
The lights we're seeing are probably from emergency batteries in the ceiling.
If you drop a toaster in the ocean, you aren't going to kill everyone on the beach.
