At least 20 passengers were charred to death and many others injured when a fire broke out in a moving train in Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh early on Friday morning.

Why don't you read your own post? There is a difference between accidental fire & purposely setting a train on fire.

Shameful indeed it is that some people choose to be sarcastic over the unfortunate misery of some others.

And the Godhra train fire was proved to be an accident rather erupted due to foolishness of those traveling in the train.

Pitty you guys still want to keep your head in the sand.

shamless on your part to say that.

it was your own countryman trying to justifies the basless allegation of flaring up fire in Godhra trian while terming this one as accident.

no one enjoys death of innocent people be it in accident or in war.

So there is no point in keep repeating an old incident. Whatever happened was bad. Leave it move on. Until unless you want to make an issue out of some people's death and enjoy over it.
