An unusual scene broadcast live on television.

This Thursday morning, a journalist from BFM TV went early to Montparnasse station in Paris to gather the feelings of travelers affected by the national strike against pension reform.

Around 5:30 a.m., Ashley Chevalier began to question a 56-year-old woman who, on the platform, was about to take her train, reports

The 50-year-old explained to her that she was taking a train to Versailles (Yvelines) to go to work.

“At 5:33 a.m., he will leave and I will be there around 5:45 a.m.,” she explained, adding that she did not know if she would have a bus afterwards to reach her place of work.

But as she was answering the reporter's questions, the woman suddenly saw her train leaving before her eyes.



Concentrating on her interview, she hadn't heard the sound signal announcing the departure of her train.

When she noticed that he was leaving the station, it was too late.

She didn't have time to board.

"Damn, I lost my train," she simply reacted to the camera.

Ashley Chevalier, she appeared totally sorry for the situation.

The two women ultimately failed to continue the interview.

“I will try to help you find a train to go to work this morning,” the journalist assured her.
