Ugggh. My heart goes out to them. Nowadays there's always a phone or camera around to capture the mishaps. I'm fortunate that most of my boo-boos have occurred away from public gaze (touchwood).
Fortunately nobody was hurt here.
I have to ask this. Who would have been responsible for the uncoupling? Fireman, Guard, Shunter? Never had to do this myself as modern trains have Autocouplers, but I do remember back in the 1990s being on the South Eastern at Tonbridge station where there was a Station Shunter who spent his day going between the old Slam-door units to trip the knuckles on the couplers and attach/detach the air hoses.
Cheers, BW.
