A few months ago, an elderly couple in Tamil Nadu displayed incredible bravery by risking their lives to prevent train derailment. Shanmugaiah and Kurunthammal, who lived near the railway trucks, woke up in the middle of night when they heard a loud crash. They found that a truck laden with plywood had fallen onto the tracks near Bhagavathipuram Railway Station close to Sengottai. As a train approached around 1 AM, the couple ran onto the tracks, using a torch light to signal the train. The loco pilot managed to stop the train in time, thanks to the couple’s quick actions.
