On Tuesday, a train broke down in India. No big deal, trains break down, you get a locomotive to push or pull it to where it needs to go. Well, in India, the engineer asked hundreds of passengers to get out and push…

It took more than half an hour to move the stalled electric train 12 feet so that it touched live overhead wires and was able to resume its journey, officials said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred in the eastern state of Bihar on Tuesday after a passenger pulled the train’s emergency chain and it halted in a “neutral zone,” a short length of track where there is no power in the overhead wires.
“In so many years of service in the railways, I have never come across such a bizarre incident,” said Deepak Kumar Jha, a spokesman for Indian Railways.
Alright, no reason to put any commentary about this, it’s funny enough as it is.
