The slow speed caused congestion in nearby stations even though they were not affected directly.



The balloon was completely removed at 8 am. The train line's operation returned to normal. The balloon was tangled on an elevated section between Gongfu Xincun and Baoan Highway. The Mylar balloon is a kind of balloon that has a metallic foil coating that can damage electrical wires.
