Hmmmm.......dont think you should make fun of that bro. India has the most deadliest railway in the world by far. China has one of the safest(from what i red) record almost at par with U.K, Japan, and other wstern countries. So think you made a mistake pointing out just one incident as this one IMO.:what:

The Chinese member started it here,simple as that but i agree with you,i would have gone with the 50c line

This is a laudable undertaking. Under Modi-ji's brilliant leadership and his capable ministers, Indian Railways will quickly realize the dream of producing indigenous bullet trains. There is no doubt about that.

India is a knowledge superpower. India has the brains to achieve anything.

Ancient India invented space travel, nuclear fusion, plastic surgery, computer chips, teleportation. India already has semi-bullet trains. So this new bullet train is very easily achievable.

India will soon have the longest and the most advance bullet train network in the world. India will be a superpower by 2020!

These have been sabotages by western powers and Naxals. Indian railways are very safe. Whatever shortcomings will be quickly overcome due to Modi-ji's brilliant leadership. India will be a bullet train superpower by 2020!

This is a laudable undertaking. Under Modi-ji's brilliant leadership and his capable ministers, Indian Railways will quickly realize the dream of producing indigenous bullet trains. There is no doubt about that.

India is a knowledge superpower. India has the brains to achieve anything.

Ancient India invented space travel, nuclear fusion, plastic surgery, computer chips, teleportation. India already has semi-bullet trains. So this new bullet train is very easily achievable.

India will soon have the longest and the most advance bullet train network in the world. India will be a superpower by 2020!

It didn't take long at all for another fatal accident:

BBC News - India train accident kills 11 in Karnataka

India train accident kills 11 in Karnataka
13 February 2015 Last updated at 00:52 ET

A railway official told the BBC they could see many bodies trapped in the wreckage
At least 11 people have died after three coaches of a train derailed in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, railway officials say.

The accident took place near Anekal, about 40km (25 miles) from the state capital, Bangalore, on Friday morning.

Officials said the toll was likely to rise as many bodies were trapped in the wreckage. Seventeen people are injured.

There have been numerous train accidents in India in recent years, killing hundreds of people.

India's railway network operates 9,000 passenger trains and carries some 18 million passengers every day.

Railway officials said the Bangalore-Ernakulam Intercity Express left Bangalore a little after 06:00 local time [12:30GMT] and that the accident took place 90 minutes later.

"I had dozed off when there was a sudden jerk and people started falling off," Vinay, who works for an IT software company, told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.

"I tried getting out through the emergency exit window, but there was a lot of smoke. So we jumped out of the train."

Correspondent say India's vast railway network is trying to reduce frequent accidents.

In October, 12 people were killed after two passenger trains collided in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

In May, 23 people died after a passenger train derailed and hit a stationary goods train also in Uttar Pradesh.
