This was somebody's mistake - the trains involved weren't even speeding. The victims never had a chance 😔

"#BALASORE, #India — The derailment in eastern India that killed more than 300 people and injured hundreds was caused by an error in the electronic signaling system that led a train to wrongly change tracks and crash into a freight train, officials said Sunday."

Maybe Modi should have a look at why this happens first, since he obviously have not managed to do too much about these accidents while in office.
Instead, be a populist and feed the angry people with some revenge thoughts.

Greek ministers mocked railway workers’ warning about train #tragedy

"Press reports suggest that the conservative government unjustifiably delayed the implementation of an #EUfunded project about the upgrade of the signalling system on Greek trains and remote control.
Greek #railway workers had warned the Greek #government for years about the increased possibility of a train accident, but these warnings were denounced as “groundless” by ministers who even replied with irony, according to new videos published on #socialmedia ."
