Train and Bus Perform Tragic Duet in Bangladesh - Liepāja Theatre Would Have Staged It Better
In Cumilla district, vehicles proved that without a director, you shouldn't attempt dramatic performances on railway crossings.
In Bangladesh's Cumilla district, such a transport tragedy occurred at night that even our Liepāja theatre director would have said – such stories are better on stage, not in reality. A train crashed into a bus at a railway crossing, resulting in 12 deaths and approximately 20 injured.
The Daily Star reports that an investigation into the circumstances has begun, but it's already clear that there was no director here who could say "stop, let's try again." Unlike our Liepāja theatre, where even Riga residents travel to see quality performances with happy endings, this story ended very sadly.
Railway officials announced that traffic on the Dhaka-Chittagong line was temporarily suspended, but resumed after the tracks were cleared. Here in Liepāja, our biggest transport stress is when the tram is five minutes late, and even then everyone knows it's not a matter of life and death.
Local pensioner Gunārs Krūmiņš comments: "Here in Liepāja, sometimes a bus and cyclist collide on the road too, but we call that everyday life, not a national catastrophe. They need to learn how to properly organize traffic."
