One of the most freakiest of accidents i have ever witnessed in my life... when a stupid cyclist gets stuck at the level crossing and then leaves his cycle only to be crushed by the raging Mahakaushal Express..!!

In this video, if you see, railway staff had shown red flag. He might have seen flasher light, and then saw the sparks coming out.

Kudos to the the loco pilot who undoubtedly are the unsung heroes of railways. They rarely get their due despite working in adverse conditions and limited facilities.

Exactly brother..!! The LP's were the heroes that day...!! It could have lead to some serious issue and even derailment had the LP's not applied the brakes on time..!! But that guy along with many other foolish beings out there never learn..he will be under trauma for some days and afterwards..back to square one :(
