On June 6, 1981, a buffalo in India killed at least 800 people.
At the time of the incident, the buffalo was wandering gracefully on the tracks of the Bagmati River Bridge in Bihar, India.
Suddenly, a train full of people inside and out sped by, and because the corner was unclear, it did not slow down.
When the train turned the corner, it found a buffalo blocking the middle of the tracks.
The captain panicked for a moment and immediately began emergency braking to avoid hitting the buffalo and derailing the train.
However, everything was too late, because the braking distance was too short, the speed of the train was fast, and the train was seriously overloaded with inertia, resulting in the brakes when the train lost its balance in an instant, and the whole train lost control, flying directly out of the bridge and falling into the raging river and being washed away.
After the accident, in order to evade responsibility, the Indian government announced that the accident was caused entirely by a buffalo, but it did not comment on why the buffalo appeared on the tracks.
At the same time, in order to minimize the degree of the accident, the relevant departments also claimed that the accident was not as appalling as rumored, and only 800 people were killed.
However, this official Indian announcement was quickly questioned and strongly protested by many Indian people, many of whom did not return from their families.
In order to evade responsibility and high compensation, the Indian transport department not only understated and lied about the number of victims, but also only recorded the bodies of the victims found, but did not mention the missing people, as if they were not on the train.
Under the strong protest and opposition of many Indian people, the government department let some less authoritative media announce that more than 2,000 people were killed in the derailment of the train, and only more than 800 people found the body. #India##Train##水牛 #
