Knowing how crowded these trains could get in those places, it's not surprising that so many people couldn't escape. It must have been a long, agonizing death for the poor 65 people. I'm surprised the train even started moving while it's still burning.

I read a news article about this. The fire was caused by passengers cooking food on a gas cooker they had brought with them. Two cookers exploded, sending burning oil everywhere.

Not just Pakistan, In many of the underdeveloped countries, this is normal. Most of the population is uneducated and lack common sense.
