the great escape

"Shatabdi express" runs as fast as trains can run in India. Given that almost all the train tracks are open for people and animals to walk over, it is not too uncommon for nasty accidents -- more often with people than animals I suppose: the latter seem to employ a better sense of judgement. A good example is this video. The couple just had to wait for probably 4-5 seconds, but no, the guy hops over the tracks and girl promptly follows. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I recall seeing a really insane & tense video of urban street traffic in some city. (Was it you or keerat that showed me?) There was this tension throughout as you expected something awful to happen as cars were turning & passing through what might be the most chaotic intersection on the planet. Do you remember that one?
