Some dude in India can’t hold on anymore. (He survived)
I just can’t imagine having to get somewhere THAT BAD so as to invite disaster in such a way as that shown in this video.
Hey Jim theres a pic over in the MR side that someone posted and I think the thread is called hobo’s.That one makes this look worse!
I am shocked an american lawyer hasnt found his way to India yet. Or maybe GE and EMD export products will be equipped with saftey chains for passengers like these
I just can believe people would ride on the side of train…
It looked like he was about that close to getting clipped by the trackside structures even before he fell off.
Awesome…
I have been to India…trust me, American poverty is nothing compared to the conditions people live in outside of the USA…
Odds are he paid to ride there…about 25 cents will get you the right to hold on as long as you choose, 50 cents lets you ride the roof, full fare, about a buck, means, if you are lucky enough to get jammed into the coaches, you can stand the entire trip.
A lot depends on what caste you belong to, some people are not allowed to ride inside the cars.
It looks like he jumped, not fell, which is normal…people over there ride till they get close to home, then they jump off.
Life over there for certain caste’s or “class” of people is cheap, real cheap…look up “untouchables” on your search engine…
I have pictures of the ones that didn’t survive. Bisected and turned into a mass of flesh.
Like an Indian friend told me years ago: Death is part of life. Why stop it?
Wasn’t that the Microsoft Customer Service person on his way home after diagnosing our computer bug?
And one wonders how India and China undercut our price structure.
