In the caption, the netizen recounted first spotting flames from the building while riding the train from Pudu to Chan Sow Lin in Kuala Lumpur at 8.13pm on Tuesday (18 June).
“When I was standing and holding the handrail, I suddenly saw a flash of red from the opposite side,” said the caption.
“I could only watch the fire getting closer and closer to us.”
The netizen added that the train suddenly heated up in as they approached the fire. Frightened, the passengers stood up immediately.
The netizen managed to take a brief video of the sight while the train was travelling past it.
“The fire and the LRT were very close, and it was scary. Watch the video and you should know the feeling,” 吧啦啦 said.
