Track rage!!!! Angry commuters set fire to a train

Sadly, angry commuters set fire to a train after it broke down on the outskirts of South America's largest city. Nearly 2,000 pax were onboard when mechanical problems caused it to stop between Itaquera and Artur Alvim, the press office of the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Train Company said.

Some commuters, seemingly "angry" because they'd be late for work, set fire to 3 of the train's 6 cars. No one was injured or arrested.

The fire caused about $1.14 million damage.

Sometimes I feel a bit embarassed being a human being! I mean really!!!
