On 2 June 2023, three trains collided near the city of Balasore, in the state of Odisha in eastern India. Two passenger trains, the 12841 Coromandel Express and the 12864 SMVT Bengaluru–Howrah SF Express, collided after an initial collision involving a goods train near the Bahanaga Bazar railway station. At least 275 people were killed in the crash, and more than 1,175 others were injured in the incident.It is the deadliest rail accident since 2004 and India's worst rail crash since the 1999 Gaisal train disaster.

 
275 people is a drop in the bucket in India—a country more populous than China.
 
Sadly that's true.
