Sadly, the wheels are coming off the infrastructure

Don’t believe me? Then read this. Quite shocking.
I particularly like this part: “The speed of the vehicle and the force at which the brakes were applied resulted in the wheels breaking loose from the bus. “
You would think they were talking about Chicago instead of Chennai, a city where you cannot go above 50 kmph even if you wanted to.
“The official denied that the incident was caused by faulty maintenance, and said the driver was responsible.”
Of course, blame it on the hapless driver. That is so typical.



That was scary and came as no surprise.Driving in India is a risky affair.BTW thanks for your comment at my blog.How did you find me?
