So the end result is even worst than Pakistan's old-fashioned trains, which sees closed to no such incidents, but so much boasting about their own self proclaimed advancement and turning blind eye towards probable issues they may encounter while going over the moon thinking they have advanced to unmatchable heights flooding pages of least advanced countries making fun of them and ended up themselves with this severe misery. Now wait and see how those least developed nations makes fun of your advancement and saviour the moment lol.

AND THE INDIAN RAILWAYS IS TALKING,BULLET TRAIN AND VANDE MUTRAM IF AT THAT HIGH SPEED,THERE IS A TRAIN COLLISION - WHAT WILL HAPPEN ? IR IS UNDERSTAFFED, UNDER FUNDED & WITH POOR TECHNOLOGY,AND THEN,THERE IS TECHNOLOGY AND IT ! WHICH BRINGS IN THE ELEMENT,OF SABOTAGE AND HACKING ! AL THE IR SOFTWARES ARE INFERIOR GRADES,OF THOSE BEING USED,IN EAST ASIA.SO THEY HAVE BEEN 'GAMED' ! IN ADDITION, NPP AT KUDANKULAM WAS HACKED BY DPRK AND IRANIAN CENTRIFUGES WERE HACKED BY STUTNEXT. RAILWAYS IS NOT A NPP.ANYONE CAN PLANT A BUG IN THE IT AND HARDWARE AND HACK INTO THE SIGNALLING AND INTERLOCKING & OTHER SYSTEMS. NOW THE HACK OR BUG MAY BE "DETECTED' BY THE ENGINE DRIVER- AS AN OBVIOUS ERROR, BUT AT BULLET SPEED - DISASTER IS EASY SO IR IS A PRIME TERROR TARGET ! & THE CLOWN SHOW OF CHAIWALA IS UNAWARE ! IR = INDIAN RAILWAYS FOR CHAIWALA, IR = I SEEK RE-ELECTION,VIA VANDE MUTRAM ! THE CRASH OCCURRED IN ODISHA &CHAIWALA WAS THERE ON 19TH MAY TO INNAUGRATE A VANDE MUTRAM !SAMIR SARDANA
