From the picture, it's obvious the track needs urgent rehabilitation. It could be as a result of linear expansivity caused on the track. I can't tell if the gradient is a sloppy one that could cause derailment as a result of speed. Moreso, it could be signaling error caused as a result of a failed system. However, someone has to take responsibility for the fatal accident.

Damn.

R.I.P to the deceased.

We don't pray for this in Nigeria.

Cause some people of perdition won't let the whole world rest,

They have started doing DAY 1, DAY 2 DAY...4

Nigeria will surely be great again.

Amen, but was Nigeria ever great?

Indian trains are usually packed like sardines. Indian people hang on train the way ants hang over sugar.

How do you transport over a billion people across a giant subcontinent?
With rails
The British built railroads all across India and Pakistan during the Colonization Era. This rapidly helped to move soldiers easily across ..
In later years, the railroads were used to move civilians, goods all across India.
The good thing about it was the Indian govt never neglected the rails.. they developed on it and made it more efficient and economical..
Nigeria on the other hand, completely ignored it. Refused to upgrade the rails back then.
It would have gone a long way in reducing wear and tear on our roads.

They live in the most unhygienic environments too yet they're over a billion of them. The way their population keeps increasing geometrically despite all the odds against them needs to be studied.
Lol! You are very correct.Those people are something else, with their bizarre cultural practices.

If it were in Nigeria it happened, Buhari would be out of the country to have his ear checked. But he is already out and Tinubu said he would continue from there. Let's just hope we have prepared for the worst.

Nature and man controlling India's excess population. It's funny how the country doesn't lease part of its army out to foreign nations to aid in military campaigns. Their population can cover such idea. This report is not from Canada, the US, the UK, Norway or at least South Africa. That means no contingencies will be put in place to prevent further occurrences. Their lives dey their deities hands.

Vanity upon Vanity...we pile all the wealth not knowing who will spend it. Leave a legacy...make difference in people's lives.

embarassed

When I think about events like this, I start to question what life is all about.
The fact that no one is getting out of here alive.
What then is life’s purpose?

What exactly is life’s purpose?
Why do we have to live to die?

This is too much. May grant fortitude to the bereaved families. India is well positioned to handle situation like this and the news communication showed their commitment to rescue the victims.

Which Kain wahala be this now that we are looking into rails as a cushion from the end of subsidized petrol?

The difference is that India's rail system is largely antiquated while Nigeria is building a brand new network with computerised signalling systems etc.

May God strengthen the bereaved.

Why 'black'?

The idea that black symbolises sorrow and evil is white racist garbage.
