	Paris Metro train fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The train was evacuated onto the platform and its shoes were lifted from the third rail to cut off the power, whereupon the burning subsided.
		As the train limped past the next station, Couronnes, its stationmaster was justifiably alarmed at the obvious signs of fire.
		Train 43 had barely reached the next station, Ménilmontant, when the fire grew out of control and the crew fled for their lives.

	Metro - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Underground, subway and metro are common names for a form of mass transit public transport system, employing small trains where at least a portion of the rails are placed in tunnels dug beneath the surface of a city.
		The volume of passengers a metro train can carry is often quite high, and a metro system is often viewed as the backbone of a large city's public transportation system.
		Traditionally, metro trains are driven by human drivers, but automated trains also exist, in, for example, London (the Victoria Line), Singapore, and Paris.

		There was a simulated fire that required the evacuation of approximately 100 passengers - played by TA employees - on a section of the L line.
		The conductor improperly opened the train's doors, which would have let smoke in, and walked the passengers along the catwalk to an emergency exit instead of leading them car-to-car to the end of the train.

		The idea to replace the Romanesque church occupying the site - the Cathedral of St. Etienne (founded by Childebert in 528) - was that of Bishop Maurice de Sully (who died in 1196).
		During the Commune of 1871, the Cathedral was nearly burned by the Communards - and some accounts suggest that indeed a huge mound of chairs was set on fire in its interior.
