- As a severe accident on Moscow's metro left at least a dozen dead on Tuesday, passengers documented the aftermath and the rescue efforts on social media sites like Twitter and Instagram.

- Many images are of crowded passageways and people standing on escalators - both at the station where the accident occurred and at other stations affected.
