From The Guardian:

Aerial photographs published by one website showed a crush of bodies snaking towards the train station through metal barricades. About 176,000 passengers had been due to pass through the station on Monday alone.

"There are too many people and it is too crowded," one stranded passenger, who was not named, told state broadcaster CCTV.
