I read this in today's newspaper and it happened in China.Well,that was a high speed train and smoking had been prohibited inside the train.But one person who couldn't bear the cold had lit his cigarette and the sensors in the train gave a fire alarm to the smoke.The train was stopped but that man had flee from the scene.Do you have any funny yet different type of experience?A silly thing making a great impact?

He had done two wrong things at the same time.Smoking in the prohibited train is one thing which will not be a serious offense.But remember,that is a high speed train which should not be delayed for silly reasons.Security is more important in such super fast vehicles and I can understand how this would be taken very serious to halt the train in that way.No wonder he ran away!
