But I don't think the video is fake, look at the shadow casted by the man on the track and the approaching train, the hand, when it gets hit by the train. If fake, they have done the job meticulously or they are lying now to escape public embrassment and police case. |
| No, the selfie train video from Hyderabad is not fake! Here's the truth TNM spoke to Railway Police Force and to the “selfie victim’s” friend and relative to find out what really happened. |

Very unfortunate. I got to know of it last night itself as the lady who died in this tragic accident was friend of my wife. They were MBA batch mates and worked together for sometime. |

This incident needs to be properly investigated... Always keep a hammer in the car to break the glasses in case of any unfortunate incident. |

What would have prevented the lady and kid from getting out of a stopped / parked car if flames were noticed? Is there a chance of doors getting jammed? |

I always had a fear of running into such buses or trucks that had its Air filter cover open near the driver's cabin and damage my car but this accident is of a different kind that resulted in 2 deaths! |

However, the reason for this is not just the malfunction of the door but also the really bad habit of people to stand by the roadside and even on the road with no regard to safety. You can see people stopping their cars and bikes on fast moving expressways and then standing around for a chat like they were in a garden, even at night when the visibility is low. Why were these unfortunate people standing on the road or so close to the road that they were caught by this door? If you are near a road, you should move at least a few feet away from the traffic. I would be scared to have buses hurtling past me just three feet away. The article cited by you quotes: "They were chatting along the road when the door of the bus hit them". Why can't people think of their safety and have a chat at a proper place like a restaurant, park, someone's home or at least in a safe place away from traffic? Yes, it says at a bus stop but even in cities you see people standing in lanes of traffic rather than at the bus top designated area. Such lack of concern for safety from citizens and the authorities is deplorable. |
