{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The high-speed train operator Thalys is going to train its employees to respond to terrorist scenarios and dangerous situations following a report that a ticket inspector panicked during the Aug. 21 attack on a train to Paris.
The gunman was subdued by passengers, including three Americans friends, Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler.
A report released Friday by Thalys points out that a ticket inspector ran away and locked himself in a luggage van with five other people without alerting the train's passengers. The report said he feared for his life and panicked.
