5/23/2005: Train collision in India



There were a lot of these shots circulating, and someone might have even sent one along, but none were so compelling until the WaPo had this version of it over the weekend. This was a train collision in which 17 people were killed and 70 injured. But the odd thing about it is how all the people standing there, are just giving the ol hairy eyeball to it all, watching the whole thing proceed! Maybe they first climbed up to help, but all that can be done is to carry out the hurt.

Around these parts, someone would take charge and move out the onlookers in case someone else gets hurt. Or another train arrives on scene to worsen the crash.
