Around 400 passengers were evacuated from an Intercity Express (ICE) train in a Vienna tunnel after being trapped for over six hours due to a power failure. The train halted shortly into its journey, causing air conditioning and lights to fail. The evacuation involved around 100 rescue workers; the delay was exacerbated by passengers trying to exit on foot. Ultimately, passengers were safely guided out through emergency exits and transported back to Vienna via buses, with two receiving on-site treatment but no hospitalizations reported.
