Constable and Engineer Die when Huge Sliding Gate Falls on Them
India, A faulty automatic sliding gate at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai collapsed, resulting in the death of an engineer and a constable of the Railway Protection Force (RPF). The deceased were identified as E., the RPF constable, and ICF engineer N. CCTV footage from the premises shows E. attempting to close the 15-feet tall gate, during which the wheels derailed, causing the gate to fall. E. along with N, who was standing nearby, attempted to hold and push the gate back, but unfortunately, the two were crushed under it. Other security personnel and officials rushed to the spot and managed to lift the gate, but the two had already suffered injuries. The duo was then rushed to the ICF hospital, where N. was declared dead upon arrival. E. succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. The ICF police have registered a case and investigation into the matter is underway, according to reports. The ICF, run by the Indian railways, is the largest coach-making facility in the world and employs over 9,000 people. |

Well, they say that when one door closes, another opens. I wonder which door in that plant opened up when the gate fell! |
