The World's Most Dangerous Train SystemIndia.

Around 25,000 people die every year on India's railways.Some of these casualties come from train wrecks, of which there are many, but the vast majority come from people falling out of open doors or being hit on the tracks, according to Agence France Presse.During rush hours, trains are a nightmare in first class and general compartments, as commuters scramble for every inch of space. Bent on saving time, people recklessly cross tracks to catch their trains, and women often take to chopping vegetables in preparation for dinner.Despite the chaos, 18 million people buy tickets every day on Indian Railways.
