Train crashes are rare in China, that's why they're news. Indian train crashes are non-news because it is not worth the time reporting deaths of Indians.
North India Train Crash Kills at Least Five - WSJ.com
PATNA, India A railway official says at least five people were killed when a passenger train collided with a freight train in northern India.
Local station master K.P. Singh says a freight train at the Karanpuratu railway station in the northern state of Jharkhand rolled backward just before a Delhi-bound passenger train pulled into the station on the same track.
He says the resulting collision at 5:40am Wednesday killed four people and injured nine others.
Accidents are common on India's railroad network -- one of the world's largest, with some 14 million passengers daily. Most collisions are blamed on poor maintenance and human error.
