LRT Collision - Finding Out What Went Wrong

Two LRT trains collided underground near the KLCC station yesterday, the first time an incident like this to occur in LRT's 23-year history. We first speak with Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, to understand what happened and what needs to be done next. Then, we discuss the lessons we need to learn from this incident, about public transport safety. And finally, we hear from a first responder about what to do in an emergency situation.
