Swap of seat saves passenger's life
A last-minute exchange of coaches for a fellow passenger's convenience saved Anil Kumar's life.
A passenger of the Awadh-Assam Express, which collided with Brahmaputra Mail at Gaisal station in West Bengal's North Dinjapur on Monday killing over 400 people, Anil Kumar lived because he was gracious enough to concede a request for shifting to S2 bogie from S1 so that a fellow passenger could be with his relatives.
S-I bogie which was next to the engine was reduced to a mangled mass of metal following the impact. S-2 which was three compartments away from the engine remained more or less intact.
Nursing his wounds at Islampur hospital, Anil Kumar said: ''God is great.
I can't think of what would have happened if we had been on S-1. I
am living the life of my co-passenger who mooted the exchange.''
