Fatal train accident

Wasantha Sunday, 26 September 2010 04:26 PM

Most of the youngsters are totally deaf & blind, when they get a chance to ride a motorcycle. They expect others to discipline and clear the path for them to fly not to ride. At last I have to say that negligence has caused to bring a tragic end, that they never expected so early. Those who left have no more pain but for parents and loved once have to suffer lifetime.Therefore I hope, that at least few of them will take this as a deterrent and rectify the errors.

I remember some four decades ago strict notice posts were erected in every Railway tracks in the near Railway stations.It says," Those who walk or cross the Railway tracks will be punishable one.". But no one obey this notices.This resulted the fatal death among us.

We hear of such accidents associated with railway crossings often. It is surprising why Government is not going for a action plan to contain this menace. I would like to suggest that this project could be assigned to respective departments of Universities to workout a solution . I am sure that there are many with creative ideas in our country for such problems. Most of them need funding. Government must launch a action plan soon.

No matter underground or surface trains. In Sri Lanka most of the rail road crosses (people who cross the train track at level crossings) do not care the train is on line or not. They think Trains are toys like things. No matter whether rail gate or barrier placed they don't care.

Accidents are a common phenomena all over the world.
Self dicipline comes within you.
The warning signs are there to educate awareness.
Disregarding them will terminate you.
Respect the road rules,if not you are inviting trouble.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. No matter what security measures (lights, bells, gates and the sound of the train), some people just have to go.
