周三晚上,地铁六号线在巴黎南部发生了一场小型的由电力故障引起的火灾,三个人受了轻伤。但根本不是一家英国媒体报道的那样“巨大的爆炸”的情况哦!
这场电力火灾发生在晚上9点15左右,位于Place d’Italie站点,乘客们立即被疏散。
RATP的负责人表示,有两名乘客以及驾驶员因为距离爆炸点比较近,吸入了烟雾而有不适。这个站台也因此关闭到凌晨一点。
火灾持续了大约20分钟。
而一些乘客向媒体们反映的“听到了爆炸声”,RATP说,那只是火灾刚发生时的声音。

No, there wasn't a 'huge explosion' on the Paris Metro, but there was an electrical fault
An electrical fire broke out on the rails of the Metro in southern Paris on Wednesday night, causing three minor injuries. But it was far from the "huge explosion" reported in sections of the British press.
The electrical fire broke out at the Place d'Italie station on Line 6 at around 9.15pm, with passengers evacuated immediately.
Two people plus the driver of a nearby train were treated for smoke inhalation, Paris transport chiefs RATP said, and the station was closed until 1am.
The fire itself lasted for around 20 minutes.
While some passengers took to social media to report hearing an "explosion", the RATP said the noise was just the start of the electrical fire.
It explained that the bang was just the sound of an electrical arc, which is a discharge of current formed by a strong current jumping a gap in a circuit, and which started the fire.
While French media downplayed the story, foreign press was quick to give it dramatic headlines at a time when the city is on edge over the fear of terror attacks.
British paper The Daily Star went as far as to call it a "HUGE explosion" (their use of caps, not ours).
