backerman: Two meerkittens being cute (Default)
Those who have been in DC may have noticed that the Metrorail system was horribly lowballed. The trains stop working when the temperature drops below freezing, a half-story elevator takes a month to be repaired, and entrances collapse left and right. What we clearly need is intervention from Lord Vishwakarma:
India's disaster-prone train network may be the world's largest employer, but the country's railways minister says he believes the credit for a respite in accidents lies with the Hindu god of machines.

Laloo Prasad Yadav said the number of train accidents had declined since he installed a "bright new photo" of the god Vishwakarma in his New Delhi office.

Somehow, I don't think even He (or any other deity, for that matter) can do any good when faced with such a flaming turd of a heavy rail system. (from Gweilo Diaries)
