Hanoi authorities started banning tourists from a popular railway lined with bars and cafes on October 10, 2019, after a train had to make an emergency stop to avoid hitting visitors accused of taking too many risks in pursuit of “perfect selfies”.Citing safety concerns, officials in the Vietnamese capital have set an October 12 deadline for the closure of dozens of cafes and shops that have gradually been built too close to the railway.

With such a crowd, at the very least you won't die alone
Cursed
Cursed
Because they dont have chance doing the same in their western country..
when the train and railroad gone wrong, "Fvcking Vietnamese Government, who let tourist take selfie there" - Tourist , 20**
other people: this is dangerous! they could die me: awww poor railroad. It just want some peace😭
Those people are ruining my beautiful country
The risk you’re willing to take? Do you have to take risk just for a senseless picture?
You'd be surprised at the lengths people go through for Instagram.
Yes, there are alot of people willing to take these risks. Including me
Check Sri Lanka blue train its just sad
Sensaless picture worth thousand dollar ..
I feel bad for the people who are selling stuff there
@Lu Lang im a Vietnamese and im pretty sure that railways aren't tourist attractions
@@catgamer0737 Yes, It is, but not in Hanoi. The Da Lat Heritage Railway is a tourist attraction though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da_Lat_Railway_Station
Better idea, have a huge sign that says enter at your own risk.
Let the toursits sign a waiver: 1. Not anyone's fault if you get injured/killed in the area 2. Police (any authority) has the discretion to detain you if they think you are putting yourself at risk Or somethin
When you go to someone’s country, just respect their rules and laws.
They've removed it so people can come back again and enjoy the cafes
@@worldaviation4k nope. The stupids tourists are not allowed anymore. They close all the coffee shops bc 100% of them violate the railway traffic safety rules
@@worldaviation4k No they didn't, they closed it again a few days ago.
rip to all the businesses there
Unbekannter Rip cause if someone die there....this place may become a “funeral service” district
in USA, we have people who took selfies and fell off a cliff, fell into a waterfall, fell into the rapids... all dead
Someone putting his/her life in danger just to take selfie? So close down nature parks and mountain tops, stop building skyscrapers, close down all roads, close down all tourist attractions, the list is endless. When are govt stop behaving like nanny?
This is too common in South East Asia.
Hv u ever walked along the railroad lines? Hv u ever felt the train go by and feel the wind and the powerful noise made by it? It is amazing and it awakes your imagination the kid inside you is unexplainable.
how about selfie with a shinkansen? high risk high return...
Bah! Not the first time those selfier will prevent other normal people to enjoy thing. Next attraction, next ban
English people : Nothing. Russian people : Nozing.
Me: afraid even to get out from my house
I don’t get what the hype is all about, it’s just a railway.
Come and see by yourself if you don't get anything...
Risking your life for a picture of a train,hehehehe.
Less people posting their photos at least
It is danger if you stand in the railway and taking pictures while the train is coming straight to you.If you got hit it was a messed for other people to clean your remains.Accident can happen when you least expected it.So be careful.
How many are dead by selfie already?
@Oiled Up And Ready ! no, but you won't wait until someone dies, will you?
I got goosebumps when I saw the thumbnail
@dark lord I know because I am an Indian
Feel sorry for the business owners and their staff.
People are smart enough, surely, not to jump in front of a train Well, even animal is smart enough to not do that
A responsible government makes unpopular but necessary decision. Well done Vietnamese Communist Party.
harry loo Because no one want the railway turn into a “free funeral service railway”
I live in Arizona, USA. At the Grand Canyon the edge drops almost straight down about 100m to the next 10cm ledge, then another 100 - 300m. Thousands of tourists visit the canyon. Most of them don't fall off into it. Quite possibly the drive to see it is the most dangerous part of the journey. However, because it COULD happen means it WILL happen someday, obviously.
You know it's dangerous because kids are very impressionable. No thanks to technology and social media, young kids would do the same risk without being aware completely of their surroundings. Even a child no less than 4 yrs old nowadays can fully understand and operate basic social media. But they're minds are easily corrupted.
I thought Planking died years ago
Try take a selfie with a Shinkazen while running at over 150mph. that's will be amazing...
Romie Mocka Japanese already built the electric fences....
아쉽지만 어쩔 수 없다고 생각합니다. 안전이 제일 중요하잖아요~
*Later, introduces a bullet train.*
I don't have a problem if the train ever hits a foolish tourist.
Kiat San But the residents do have the problem. The corpses on the railway and no one want to scrape these idiots
Still not a problem. Just scrape and mince the meat of those MF tourists. BBQ it and sell it to the next foolish tourist
"Taking selfies for fame"? Despicable mentality.
prevention is better. no drama please.
Why stop the train? It sounds like natural selection to me
What if your parents where from Vietnam but live in a different country but you born in that different country would that still making you visitor or tourist??
I’m watching this on October 12, sad to realize
That was a cute aussie 🐥
People are so weird...
well if only that alley is 3x bigger on both side then it's not gonna be that bad.
as always, one person ruins it for everyone else
October 12... They are ordered to close by today. All because a few tourists cannot behave their own f**king selves. Because of that, the younger generation like me will never get to enjoy these opportunities.
So sad.
People never seen a train before...lemmings
How are they not scared
im glad I went there early before it is close down
SOMEONE PLEASE! what is the name of the AMAZING! LIFE LIKE! ANIME MUSIC! In the background. That reminds me of Zoids Chaotic Century! That re
Just let Darwin do his thing
Make stew from them
I can't believe train rail can be a tourist spot
It can be... if you are ON the train. Countless heritage railways around the world exist because they ARE tourist spots.
Final Selfie Spot
A phỏng vấn cuối cùng, có giọng làm phát thanh viên rất ok
People spend money and time to take nice view meanwhile in Hanoi people try to take pic of Train..came to my country u can take pic on train also u can jump to rail train if u want to felt how is die feel like
What if Deaf tourists are wondering around?
เป็นข่าวในไทยแล้วนะครับ
but why there is a railroad in the first place
Etcg fedi French built it back in 1800’s
All because of the one idiot that forced the train to stop.
Who tf planks nowadays
Super Brave Tourist!!! 😨😨😨
That's the price of high stake business, coming home to roost! if you don't want to be closed, you should have kept closer watch over your customers.
Don't you have trains in your own country that you could jump in front of?
How dare the authoritah deny contenders of their 'prestigious' Darwin Awards?
no one should be allowed near railroad tracks. they should also have rhe residents move away from the tracks
CHOO CHOO THOMAS IS COMING
I see a new darwin award...
Dumb selfie taking tourists lacking common sense and courtesy had to ruin it for everyone. Thaaanks👍🏼
I like the music
Just have one train go full speed through there.....
It's nice that the train is open, of course it has to be more limited to avoid unfortunate cases
Strange ... I wouldn't want to get near that place not even if thet pay me 1000 €
Are you sure, those house maybe be 100.000$ if not higher XD
Dangeraus is fun and awesome for wild swafoto fan around the world.
Home along the riles
For they own safety... Pls obey the law
You want to have a train in your city passing by mere feet from buildings and people? Or do you wanna actually develop your country and city with safety in mind and be responsible? Vietnam has a chance to make something of itself economically now with all the foreign investment coming in, so don't reduce yourself to a mere tourist attraction.
Harald Approves!
Getting my Darwin Awards ready....
*You will be glad to know that the cafes and tourism are back in full swing after relaxing it again (Though there is a person with a megaphone and others to tell you where to safely stand) I had so much fun there*
Well prob not for long. A tourist got hit by a train yesterday just because he was trying to take a selfie. Luckily, he's still ok
Let them do it for their own risk, if anything goes wrong at least it will reduced idiots in this world.
Kegoblokan hqq bukan hanya milik warga negara +62 ternyata
Warga +62 masih bagus kang, tau kalau wilayah sekitar rel itu bahaya, kalau ada yg hunting jg biasanya agak jauhan dari rel.
Bad tourists be like
I suggest should ban the dog festival too.😈😈👿👿👿👿
Lover's of themselves,such foolishness
0:20 are you sure? i have seen few not so smart peoples on internet lol 😂
Schade
people want to die then they fly to vietnam and meet at this rail road track ready go to heaven....hahhahahahahaha
no big deal, close it down and tourist just go to the one in taiwan
Cakepp
Leave them be, they just want to be popular in social media so let they risk their life to something worthless. Like idiot creatures.
Syaruna Shiro They should name the railroad “phố tang lễ” (Funeral service st)
Mostly Chinese tourists
Most are white guy
Selfie wankers
Amazing 🇻🇳. Even their railway more famous than the so call Great Wall of 🇨🇳.
More comparable with the Ganges, both have fresh corpses.
Great wall is no adventure,boring..vietnam rairoad is deadly adventure and have fun..
Vui mà
Communist Vietnam, who knew? 🤷🏽♂️
B007 My country doesn’t want to scrape off their “meatball-form” body.
