Just checked the umoinner page on FB. Their supporters are talking crap. Not sorry at all about the accident and how umoinner is here to stay mpende msipende.  It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

Tell me how to be my brothers keeper in Kenya and Il do it I can tell u all the mats that overlap and behave badly in our route,I can tell u who peddles weed in the neighbourhood,who sells naps and kc to underage school kids etc but what to do with the info is another story... Neighborhood watch, police, press(and then repeat over and over untill something sinks in)... etc Corruption is such that you must be willing to sacrifice everything to fight it.

Would it be insensitive at this stage to thank God that the train did not derail and kill more people who hawk along the railway line not to mention any passengers on the train?

I encourage all other drivers to do the same. Braking in any vehicle is the responsibility of police officers and not drivers.

Saddened. Anyway the mat could not have been overlapping,as a frequent user of this junction two vehicles cannot cross the rail at the same time one has to give way for the other. Like someone here has pointed out whenever you leave space in front of you and the rail, stupid idiots behind hoot like you're about to commit a crime by leaving space. Another thing, that's the worst railway intersection I have ever seen and the both the railway and the road authorities are as much to blame as the driver in this case. Then there are hawkers who have taken up the sides of the intersection and the road a disaster waiting to happen.
