Do not look down: the deepest subway station in the world!

The subway or metro ride has probably never caused a problem of phobia or discomfort. Although most subway stations are only a few steps downhill, there are already very specific types of rail-related phobia. Siderodromophobia involves the occurrence of panic attacks, sudden increases in heart rate, and may be experienced by cold sweat and gastrointestinal problems. Some people are crying and sometimes running away. They did not invent a Latino name to frighten subway trains yet, although it deserves a complex one that suggests seriousness and gravity.

Then comes nature to play a role in making things worse, engineers have to land in subway stations to great depths to overcome the challenges of location or geology of the earth; this happened with the Arsenalna metro station in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.

Our Arsenal Underground Station is 105 meters below ground, making it the world's deepest metro station. With this depth, you can put the entire Liberty Statue in length and you will have more than 12 meters left until you reach the tunnel of our tunnel Arsenal! Passengers traveling through our Arsenal station must take two escalators from the entrance of the upper station to the subway landing platform, which takes about 5 minutes to complete.

The extraordinary depth of the Arsenal station is due to the nature of the country's geographical capital, Kiev, where the entrance to the station is located on the surface of a plain valley and close to it is the Dnieper River, which stretches far from the surrounding lands. Thus, engineers found a solution only to dive deep down the river sill to build the Kiev metro station, from which the train goes straight to the next station in Dnipro, which is located at the top of the earth! Do you imagine with me how high the banks of the Dnieper River?

In fact, seeing the pictures above, and imagining all this depth down the earth and with the sight of the walls and the silent air and silent silence, I think I have been infected with the phobia of subway trains already!
