Members of a religious procession in Himachal Pradesh, India, dumped soil on a section of railway track to try to build a makeshift level crossing for their cars
Because who gives a fuck about potentially derailing an entire train or two, I guess

Why doesn't the video show the soil after the train passed. Also how much soil would be needed to actually derail the train?
A hell of a lot more than that.They essentially created what is done at every single RR crossing in the US using asphalt, but with soil. That's like nothing, and I very strongly doubt that's the first train that has passed over it.
Wait until OP hears about what we did with coins on RR tracks in the 70s. They put up more resistance than that dusting of soil.
I'm all on board with fuck cars, but there's literally 0 things (aside from the cars themselves) to be upset with in OP.
If a train would derail from a bit of compacted earth as shown, it should not be on rails.
You know that trains actually spray sand under their wheels to improve traction for accelerating and breaking?
Seek therapy.
No this isn't about the religious thing.
If it had been like a bicycle convoy or a train id be cool with it.
why???
Text of OP
but that's just loosely packed dirt, it wouldn't do anything. Why threaten to kill them over dirt??
Did not threaten. Ocean between me and them, assuming an icbm costs more than a month's rent. Havent checked.
Car users. Lives worth less than nothing. Interfering with train literally at all for the sake of car.
Weird how nobody gets butthurt and interrogative to car brains when they literalky try to murder us.
Maybe you've got some biases going on.
it's DIRT
encourage violence then? don't see how thats any better
it's literally a video of people being happy to see each other, how did you get so upset to say to "kill them all"??
also, do you freak out this much if it were dirt on the track for a bus instead of a car?
I asked questions, you refused to answer with any logical explanation other than literally encouraging murder or an answer so short it doesn't explain anything.
I'm open to discussion here.
why would a bus be any different? What about a carpool with say 10 people in it? what about 5? 3? where do you draw the line and why?
what about a bus with 10 people in it? 5? 3?
You first
