Did anyone die midway in the six day train ride with no food/ water?

EDIT: I'm by no means doubting, just asking a question. As someone has mentioned below, you CAN survive without water for about a week.

English sure is an interesting language!

It isn't my first language, and I learned the word "escort" in video games. As in "escorting a VIP".

Then when I first come to the States I was given the job to walk my little brother to school which is about 8 blocks away. One day I came across a whole "escort" section in the yellow page, out of curiosity I decided to call and see at least what's the price.

Me: Hey is this escort service?

Girl: Yeah?

Me: Do you do escort for my little brother?

Girl: How old is he?

Me: 11. Why, do you charge differently?

Girl: ...... ಠ_ಠ

Me: So how much?

Girl: $120/hr.

Me: Holy cow that's expensive. Thanks Though! (Hung up)

Not OP, but I'm assuming China and Pakistan didn't make a move to change status quo, unlike India who had made a huge move in the past few days.

Holy crap. I'm only saying this because OP says he's not easily offended.

His face AFTER the accident looks something striaght outta rage comic.

I do think the diversity and sheer volume of choice, along with social media is radicalizing people left and right. We all live in echo chamber now. Media and journalism is becoming so polarized. Algorithms on Facebook and such reinforces people's extreme opinion into a positive loopback.

It's like I listen to all kinds of music. Rock, country, Rap, etc. But once I click "like" on a few rap songs, all Pandora or Spotify will push is nothing but rap. In this sense modern media is push all of us to become more extreme and narrowsighted.
