Train accident takes a 100 persons death toll

Democratic Republic of Congo: a train accident in the region of
western Kisai has caused more than 100 casualties and an undefined
number of injurds. The accident seems to have happened about a 170 km
north of Kanaga, the capital of the region.
The accident seems to have happend due to a technical malfunction of
the locomotive.
Interesting comment of one of the functioneers of the train agency:
the main part of the passengers did travel without
ticket.

sad though as they probably couldn't afford it but still didn't deserve that

In countries where people are more "by the book" - life is safer. So I say, until a bridge buckles in Minnesota! Don't you think a bridge should last more than forty years?

More by the book means richer?

yep im with you on that one, and yes a bridge should last over 40 years, just lets be thankful although such a terrible thing people dieing like that but thnkgod that school bus didn't go in

Well, richer countries are generally more "by the book" because they have the resources to be.

1. Richer countries police more, so fare hopping is not going to be as easy

2. There is less to gain by fare hopping, since the fare will be a much much lower percentage of your weekly wage.
