Without knowing right what he transferred himself, it felt that he attacked it to the woman with words and the stock market that loaded. Coming back itself he perceived almost that the vehicle is closed for another one, causing a serious accident.

After this event, the transit seems to have motionless, nobody walked; a total chaos.
