NewsTranscript
00:00The cable that supplies electricity to LRT Line 2 was hit by lightning.
00:04Watch this. This is Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:10Suddenly, lightning struck the Gilmore Station of LRT Line 2.
00:15It happened around 10 p.m. when there were no more passengers.
00:20According to the Light Rail Transit Authority,
00:23there was a lightning strike and it hit the so-called catenary wire that supplies electricity to the train.
00:30Before that, we saw a lot of lightning that really flashed outside the station.
00:35And then, at that moment, the outside of the station suddenly left,
00:40and then it suddenly exploded inside.
00:43The cables were cut, but it's good that the last train passed by.
00:48No one was hurt.
00:50Our system is safe because the whole system has a lightning arrester.
00:56Aside from the lightning arrester, the train also has a mechanism to protect it from lightning.
01:01Our system has a third safety measure.
01:05When the pantograph goes down, you can see that there are two antennas on top of the train.
01:10It has an automatic scheme.
01:15When a high power supply is detected, it goes down so that the power surge does not continue.
01:24The cable was also fixed immediately, so it was not affected on the first trip this morning.
01:29For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
