INDIA When one of the passengers tried to catch his train, he literally decided to risk his own life. He dangerously ran across the tracks at the station, slipped, and fell directly under a moving train on another track. He was run over and killed.
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of how dangerous it is to cross train tracks. Even a brief moment of inattention or a slip can have fatal consequences, as trains travel at high speeds and stopping them is nearly impossible. At the same time, the responsibility of railway authorities to ensure safe station layouts and train schedules cannot be overlooked. When passengers are forced to risk their lives to catch a train, it represents a failure in organization and planning that directly endangers their safety.
