Title: "scores killed by train", India. Post by: broadgage on October 19, 2018, 17:57:49 Very sad, but also entirely foreseeable I am afraid.

To gather on the line was unwise, but then to set of fireworks, the noise of which prevented the approach of the train from being heard, was foolhardy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-45913793 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-45913793) Title: Re: "scores killed by train", India.

I suspect that we are only being shown very limited pictures because of the brutal nature of the horror that's likely to have been at the scene. Don't play with trains ...
