15,000 die on Indian railways every year because the toilets on the trains just empty onto the rails, corroding them to the point of breaking. Indian officials charged with not keeping track

I've had to use the toilet on an Indian train, so I'm getting a kick out of this story.

So when one of those trains breaks down, does it leave skid marks?

The acidic content of what gets flushed, it turns out, steadily corrodes the tracks, making them unstable and unreliable.
So stop eating and shiatting batteries, you fools!

That's why there's a sign in the train bathroom that says not to use it while the train is in the station.

Once when I was a kid the top of our neighbors old steel can style septic tank rusted through and collapsed. I had to stay inside for a few days because of the stench. From what I've read that's basically what all of India smells like. Definitely not on my top ten list of places I want to visit.

It hasn't been all that long that trains in the U.S. emptied on the tracks as well.
I think Bob Dylan named an album after this.

Just fyi, urine breaks down into ammonia, which is a cleaning agent. This is why you see piss boys in movies depicting the French Renaissance, etc. Most notable piss boy role goes to Mel Brooks from 'History of the World (part 1)'

I guess it's better to rust the tracks on the G train than to wind up with rusty tracks in your G-string.

The toilets do not flush, they are literally a hole through the bottom of the car. Nothing like using a squat toilet with the train tracks whizzing by at 50 miles an hour less then three feet under your butt.

I'm sure I've seen piles of shiatty toilet paper on UK train tracks in the last couple of years, but the trains do seem to have modernised recently. Hell, we even have aircon on some of the ones I ride into London each week..... no a/c or toilets on the tubes though.

Yes, but once you have a billion people ride your rail system per day, it's generally considered a good idea not to drag stripes of effluent all over your entire goddamn country and its most expensive infrastructure.
That whole country has to be coated in sewage by now. No wonder they use too much onion, garlic and curry in their food. It covers up the taste and smell of airborne sewage.

Yeah, no one follows that, even in eastern Europe. At a train station in Prague there were turds all over the tracks in the station.

The free market will take care of it. Who needs infrastructure inspections, environmental regulations, and public safety laws? India is a Randian dream state.

Been there done that. Worst fking thing ever.
The cool part though is you can look at the tracks below you and there is nice cool stream of air caressing your under parts.

Isn't that what was partly responsible for taking down that bridge in Minneapolis a few years ago? Pigeons making nests in the framework and slowly corroding away the metal with years and years worth of caked-on bird shiat?

What is it with India and poop?
There's some weird cultural thing going on there. I think that they LIKE having poop everywhere. There's no other explanation really.
Filthy, filthy country.

Not to mention that it carried more traffic than it was designed to carry every day for 50 years.

I wonder if a Indian would go to the doctor if they took a solid shiat.

you mean they dont have a sewage system on their trains? not surprising considering even today, new houses in india are not typically built with a toilet. One thing India doesnt want the rest of the world to know is that almost the entire country regularly poops outside. dont you people watch Vanguard?

Here's an entire documentary about them not having enough places to poop.

From flushing toilets while the train
Is in the station
