So sad, I hope everyone including the train driver and first responders get all of the support they need.

The gust of wind theory seems a little far fetched. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to this story.
I literally saw a fully loaded short gas heater sail across my terrace. Don't be too hasty
If they came out of the lift, wouldn't the lift itself be blocking and wind from behind them?
....you are weirdly conspiratorial about this.
And that, ladies, gentlemen, and others, it why some nations have foucused on installing platform screen doors in their stations.
As tragic as this is, accidents are always going to happen.. and to suggest spending billions to try prevent an accident when the money could be spent elsewhere seems knee-jerk.
Accidents are always going to happen, but people falling onto the tracks is a very routine, predictable, and common occurrence with a well proven and widely implemented solution.
There are always going to be other things to spend money on, but the budget exists to serve the populace, which is why governments figure out what needs to be done, and then figure out how to make that happen.
I've never seen a pram without a wheel lock either.
Some talk of the pram being caught by a gust of wind.
No joke, with how windy it's been the last couple of days, I could imagine a double size pram taking off and clearing trees.
