The Triple Train Tragedy
In the realm of rails , where journey interwines , a tale of anguish, where destiny aligns.
At 7 on a beautiful evening , 7 minutes changed lives for a countless people travelling
A passenger train was caught in the calamity's grasp, as the Coromandel express, a name etched in time , hits the iron ore loaded goods train , inviting terror to clasp
Metal twisted , a deafening roar as lives collided , never to restore
Within fraction of second, the derailed coaches fell on the rear of the parallely pacing Bengaluru howrah express, a terrifying end .
A convergence of fate on a fateful track,
Where destiny dealt a cruel, merciless attack.
The trains collided with a thunderous roar,
Shattering peace and forever changing the score.
The screeching brakes and anguished cries,
Echoed through the night, reaching the skies.
In the wreckage and debris, lives were lost,
Leaving behind a painful, heart-wrenching cost
Yet amidst the chaos, heroes emerged,
Strangers turned saviors, their courage surged.
Together they toiled, the injured to save,
Risking their lives, humanity's bravest wave.
In the aftermath, the nation mourned,
The loss of lives, so tragically adorned.
But in the unity of grief, hearts were bound,
An unbreakable spirit, resolute and profound.
From the ashes of tragedy, lessons were learned,
To ensure safety, the embers still burned.
May those lost find solace, forever in our hearts,
As we strive to make the railways a safer part.
For in the sanctity of each journey we take,
Lies the responsibility, a commitment we make
