Vande Bharat Pilot Stops Train For Pleading Passenger; Viral Video Divides Internet | Here's Why…

‘Unfair vs compassion’ was the debate that got triggered after a rather rare incident took place at a railway station. Mostly, a missed train is a missed train; however, when these passengers arrived late to catch their Vande Bharat train, what they experienced turned out to be something that does not always happen with latecomers. A CCTV footage was shared online, which showed the passengers arriving just a few seconds after the train began to move. Realising their mistake, the passengers immediately started pleading with the pilot. What happened next was something rare; the pilot actually stopped the train for a few seconds, so that the pleading passengers could board.As soon as the video went viral, it left the internet split. Some appreciated

the pilot’s move and called it an act of “compassion”, while others called it “unfair” for the passengers who had arrived on time. Many also commented that a “few-second delay" won’t create an issue for anyone.Times Now could not confirm the details of the post.Check out the viral post: “A Vande Bharat train reportedly halted mid journey after two women pleaded with folded hands as they risked missing it.

Internet’s reactions: “Unfairness? I don't think stopping for 5 seconds to let two passengers board is hardly going to get the train delayed for hours,” a user said. “Compassion always wins, time travel protocol and timing will help improve OTP,” added another.ALSO READ: 'Partial Lockdown Effective From April 15': The Truth Behind Viral PDF Revealed “This is indeed compassionate because many of us reach late not because of our fault but because there is so much happening on roads. It's so normal for roads to be used for political rallies, digging pipelines, opening shops which cause further crowding and chances of accidents, people fighting over small accidents etc,” added another. “I have been in that moment! Fucking 5min delay won't make major difference! If they allow it! As many trains do, we tolerate hours of delay that we tolerate! They can tolerate us too!” added another person in the comment section.
