heirflick Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 These people in Jakarta, Indonesia believe that lying on the railway tracks will cure them of their illnesses. From young children to old folk, they all lie on train tracks passing through their settlement, hoping the electric energy from them will cure them. Not even the potentially lethal trains passing on opposite tracks seem to be scaring these Indonesians away. i think i will pass on that treatment!

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I suppose when a train hits you it would cure you of everything permanently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Presumably someone has pointed out to them that the electricity is in overhead wires, not the track! And in quantities that would fry them in 0.000001 second! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
