Everyone likes fast-moving trains but do you really have what it takes to move a lightning fast train? Apparently, India does not. India's fastest moving train "Vande Bharat Express", formerly known as Train 18, breaks down a day later after its launch. Quite embarrassing isn't it? Well, unless you think being pelted with stones is more embarrassing for a train than breaking down. Yes, the same train has also been pelted with stones in the past. [adinserter block= "3"] Launched on Friday, breaks down on Saturday. https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1096284849319473152 Well, can you think of things that can last longer than India's fastest train? Misbah-ul-Haq in a test match? Or perhaps the movie "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" ran longer than this train. The train couldn't even last for a day and that is certainly a little embarrassing for India's "fastest train". Indian PM Modi launched the train on 15th February 2019, the train stopped on 16th February 2019. [adinserter block= "10"] Well, the reason for its breakdown is also pretty embarrassing. According to the sources, the reason for its breaking down as well, the disruption caused by cattle on the track which consequently resulted in jamming of the whole train. According to sources, there was also a foul smell and mild smoke which was due to an internal system failure. The train stopped 200 km from Delhi and will be taken to the nearest maintenance center possible. People were shifted on another train and it wasn't even a commercial run, the train failed in a trial run. https://twitter.com/JairajSinghR/status/1096672096648744960 Indians' reaction is pretty sweet. Koi baat nahi senorita baray baray shehron main aisi choti choti trains rukti rehti hain? Nope, still embarrassing. https://twitter.com/Memeghnad/status/1096624734840582144 Oh well, this guy figured out the real reason. Are they or are they not? https://twitter.com/atheist_delhi/status/1096674238222790656 Things escalated pretty quickly. From lightening speed, the fastest train, to breaking down and going powerless to going nowhere. So much for being the first engine-less train in India. And Indian's are not coming slow! https://twitter.com/rupasubramanya/status/1096605719720280064 Show off more than efficiency? Some Indians are really taking this seriously and blaming the government for being incompetent and just caring about showing off. Power failures in four couches, smokes and technical breakdowns all at once, just don't seem very effective. https://twitter.com/dhruv_rathee/status/1096621683014860800 https://twitter.com/sidmtweets/status/1096614251542839296 Maybe this is what happens when you care about marketing and your government's image rather than the services and efficiency. [adinserter block= "4"] Sorry, Modi jee. Semi-high speed to almost no speed to totally no speed hogaya hai yeh tou. Well, it's good that the problem has been identified in the trial run and will be sorted out hopefully before the commercial run so it doesn't cause any inconvenience to the passengers. https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1096279779857227778 What are your thoughts on this?
