China Admits 12 of its Railways are Death Traps

China, who has invented more forms of homicide in the past ten years than the rest of the world combined, has just announced that twelve of its newly minted railways are death traps. The bad news is that those hundreds of billions of dollars that went into building up China’s rail infrastructure were wasted. The good news is that those same useless Chinese companies have built railways for civilized countries as well, so that we too can die from Chinese incompetence.
