โ€” ZagrepฤaninA resident warns others about the malfunctioning railway barrier in Sesvetski Selo.

The viral TikTok video, which shows a train passing through a railway crossing with the barrier inexplicably raised, is a stark reminder of the potential dangers lurking in our everyday commutes. The footage, captured by a concerned citizen, not only depicts the malfunctioning barrier but also shows the train's engineer waving, a gesture that seems to mock the perilous situation.

This is not an isolated incident. As commenters on the video have pointed out, this is a recurring problem that poses a significant risk to public safety. The fact that such a critical safety mechanism can fail so spectacularly, and repeatedly, is unacceptable. It raises serious questions about the maintenance and oversight of our railway infrastructure.

And the engineer waves from the train, he is the ramp, his hand is obviously the ramp.

โ€” TikTok video narratorThe narrator sarcastically comments on the train engineer's gesture amidst the dangerous situation.

We, the citizens, demand immediate action from the relevant authorities. This is not a matter to be taken lightly. The safety of our communities should be paramount, and it is imperative that this faulty barrier is repaired without delay. We hope that the authorities will heed our calls and address this hazardous issue before a tragedy occurs.

This is a very common problem.
