Five passengers are feared dead after falling onto the track from a local train going towards Thane's Kasara area from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. According to officials, at least 10 to 12 passengers are reported to have fallen off the train.

Officials believe that the excessive crowd inside the train led to people falling off a compartment. According to reports, passengers were travelling while hanging on to the doors due to overcrowding.

Railway officials have reached the spot and the injured have been taken to the nearest hospital. Investigation into the incident is underway.

Shubhanshu Shukla is taking off to the ISS in a few hours on the Axiom 4 mission. Flying in a Space X Dragon. But off course, this must somehow boost India's Gaganyaan program.

But at what cost?

as part of the Ax-4 mission. He will become the first Indian to travel to the ISS, live and work in zero gravity.

The company, which is redefining the private spaceflight industry, has charged India a whopping $70 million, nearly Rs 538 crore, which is significantly higher than competitors like Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic.

Only $70 million for a seat on the Axiom 4? That's cheap for a great economy like India.

Wishing Shukla a safe and great trip to the ISS. Make India proud! Jai Hind!

Indians are really diving into the bull. They’re resorting to speaking for the Chinese people that they don’t want Beijing to allow Pakistan to buy the J-35 because they haven’t paid for their J-10s. Just goes to show how fearful they are of Pakistan getting stealth fighters at all. The first comment from the channel already stating it’s no joke knowing what’s obvious.

Now I see where that channel go its sources from:

Watch this video. This guy is trying to manufacture something in America. The result is not what you expect.

Dude spends some time indirectly ranting about almost everything being made in China. He set out on a mission to produce and market a grill scrubber with everything 100% made in USA.

At around 36 mins, he finds out that America still could not produce enough chainmail for his grill scrubbers. So he orders more chainmail from India. He orders them from an Indian dealer. When he receives them, he finds that those chainmails were actually drop-shipped directly from China. So he fumes, barely containing his rage. Lol!

Trying to set out to manufacture things within your own nation is not wrong. That's a good endeavor. But if you're trying to be political about it, then I'm gonna laugh at you when your political message blows up in your face.

He also makes the claim that his product is of much higher quality and will last many more years compared to "cheap ones" (China implied) when in fact the whole part that decides the quality, which is the chainmail (the part that gets brushed off and worn out over time) is literally from China. The rest of it is just injection moulded plastic used to hold chainmail in place and a metal handle.

That only way that he is going to do something "Made in the US" with any outside input, at a price that people can buy, is If you have a extreme control of your supply chain, ALL THE WAY DOWN to the machines that make specialized screws, Huawei style. Given how very little the US government invest in mobility and how much the US economic development has been concentrating in out touch Silicon Valley crypto stooges and Wall Street cocaine addicts is not surprising that they don't have the efficiency.

There are some high tech items like semiconductors for example that basically have the same standard all over the world, everybody buy the same machines, materials and software. In those areas they could be more competitive, But is kind irony because US stooges have forced China to develop their own supply chain and now they have even more control on chip manufacturing than ever. There is high probability with time that China efficiency on making semiconductor become higher, putting pressure on overseas semiconductor companies.

I think we're past the point of China caring about US exports.
However build Stargate entirely using Huawei Ascend would be an interesting offer.
Of course China will also have to carefully examine national security threats from American workers on-site, which I'm sure Americans will understand.

Just like how U.S. made and built vehicles are supposed to be "TOUGH" AND QUALITY right? Lol

Even then, the U.S car manufacturing industry is a gigantic supply chain that extent across multiple countries. If Ford Motors is forced to make 100% US cars they will collapse in less than a year without substantial government support. Another example is Apple if for some reason the are put in the same position than Huawei
