British civilians taking shelter in the London Underground, WW2, 1940
I would be scared as heck to lay on the rails. Don't care how much the trains were not running.
14Yeah feel like it's similar to don't look down the barrel of an unloaded gun. Sure, there's not supposed to be a bullet in there, but the risk if you're mistaken is too great. There's not supposed to be a train coming down those tracks, but would be pretty bad if there was.
13Or it would be running really fast to get into cover.

ur not supposed to step beyond the yellow line, it is dangerous. I hope they were arrested
10I'm not seeing a yellow line here, so they should be good.

My gran lived about 100m from Arsenal station, one of the deepest and safest in London. Instead of going there during raids, she took my mum and her baby son into the basement; she said the underground stations were for poor people. The smell was also pretty unbearable.
9Well, better smelly than dead.

Even with everything going on, you can see a bunch of people smiling.
