Engineless runaway train in India

Around 1,000 passengers had a narrow escape after a train sped backwards for seven miles without an engine.

People could be heard shouting "pull the emergency chain!" as the train hurtled past a station.

The state-run railway has ordered an inquiry into the incident.

Boy what a backward country !!!
George Westinghouse invented air brakes more than 100 years ago.

I'm curious as to why they just do not buy more trains or build more tracks... it is always a scene with people hanging over every available inch of the train.

I always wonder why they don’t build more toilets so people don’t shite in the street
