Then it stopped in that dark tunnel(隧道). We waited. We expected the lights to come on again soon. But nothing happened. Then I began to smell something. Yes, I could smell smoke. So I asked myself, “Is this train on fire?” People around me then began to cry out in fear. “The train is on fire!” they cried. Then the woman standing next to me suddenly fell on the floor.

I thought, “No one can save me from certain death but God. Only God can make a way for any of us to escape death in this train.” Before the flames reached me, I found the open door and I climbed out of the train into the dark tunnel. Then as quickly as I could, I ran from the burning train down the tunnel. Now as I ran I could hear hundreds of people that were locked in that burning train, crying out for help. I knew I could do nothing to help them, so I ran on. Then for two hours I kept walking in that dark train tunnel. At last I saw a light in the distance.
