- sdfghswe 3y agoQuick, downvote the guy with the best answer.
- mckirk 3y agoI think this is essentially the source for newsasfacts.com, which I like a lot.
- L0in 3y agoI didn't know the original source nor this website. I wonder why doesn't services like this get shared/advertised more...
- 000ooo000 3y agoHave been using this portal for a year or two and what surprises me is the number of fatalities in bus accidents in India and the like. Some weeks it seems like 50-odd people die a day in a bus accident in that part of the world. We had a 10 fatality bus accident here in Aus recently and it was "the worst road accident in decades". Pretty awful that it happens almost routinely elsewhere.
- frontman1988 3y agoLife is very cheap in India. Things like bus crashes, people falling off trains due to overcrowding don't even make the local news because they is always something worse and 'sensational' that grabs headlines more: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/raped-rajasthan-minor-was-alive-when-burnt-cops/articleshow/103315645.cms https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/raped-rajast...
- Delphiza 3y agoI met with the health and safety team at a large multinational manufacturer, with factories all around the world, US, UK, Asia (including India and China). Their health and safety chart showed that, by a large margin, the highest number of worldwide health and safety lost days came from transporting workers to factories in India.
- L0in 3y agoDidn't know about it. Seem nice.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoI need to get into the habit of looking at this page. I do usually look at the box on the wikipedia homepage whenever I want to look something up there, but most stories don't make it in.
