    Absolute disaster of a country where life is cheap, disease is rampant, parents maim their children and turn them into beggars in order to survive and the rivers are polluted with floating corpses and the upper classes while away their time working on their British accents.

    @Alex Falcone: you’re worse than David Hogan. You should use your opinionated big brain to say things less about the specifics of what happened instead of throw away generalisations

    @Donal Proctor:
    It is a disaster of a country, and that’s why accidents like this happen again and again and again and again….

    @Alex Falcone: Have you been Alex? At 1.25 billion people in India, 15k deaths annually makes their trains statistically a lot safer than our roads, scaling by population.

    @David Hogan: How insightful and inciting of you David to say something so crass. Wasent the first thing that popped into my head to be honest. Poor people. Hope the death toll dosent grow further. Hope they invest money and make the rail system safer. Hope the rich poor divide in India narrows.
