    Those who talk with the favor of nano, please shut. We know you've been appointed by Tata for manufacturing purpose. Those who blame nano, please realize that we failed to stop this model before it get launched. It's all fate that happened, but we have a good lesson from this. Humble request to all, don't put your lives in trouble by procuring cheap products!! Still if something is written on your fate, nothing can change that except the charity you give and the prayer you make. Put all your trust in one GOD who created us all!

    Clearly no seat belts. Seat belts prevent your head from getting jammed or your body from flying out. The video of this accident is on YouTube.

    Heartfelt condolence for the couple. Hope the children are with their relatives / safe hands as I find a watsapp message in circulations as children have not yet met their relatives.
    If any one know then please keep me posted in this blog itself.
    May God give mental strength to the kids for recovering

    I feel sorry for the deceased and pray to God for the speedy recovery of injured children.
    There is nothing to blame a Vehicle for accident. If you drive an SUV or XUV with a speed of 90 KM/H and try to slightly turn without applying/or missed to apply brakes the vehicle topples. This is with any vehicle , no vehicle is an exception for this. I have travelled more than 7 times from Bangalore to my home town (700 KM) on the same highway with the allowed speed and caution, By the grace of God nothing happened. Requesting people not to judge vehicle performance/stability by the cost or size.

    While conveying deep condolence to the bereaved family, I strongly agree light cars when at higher speeds and also when other bigger speeding vehicles passes sideways will not withstand its gravity, thereby going out of control. Let the situation be a lesson to all on safety measures, especially when driving on highways. Let us pray Almighty for speedy recovery of the bereaved family's beautiful children and to give courage and strength to bear HUGE LOSS and pray for their future to be bright and shine like a star in the sky.

    what a tragedy. Pity on those kids who may not be realizing the severity of the disaster hit them. Who ever argues on the car, being the reason, I agree with that point. It's obvious that Nano is a budget car and meant for limited usage. Never try to test the threshold. May be many of you drove the car across the highways and never met with accident. That's doesn't mean such a small car can be compared with high end cars. It's also obvious that high end cars will have all the safety features in place and hence they are expensive. You compromise with that against these small size cars. Obviously there will be a limitation. So, it may not be 100 % contribution in this accident. But 99 % suspection remains on car only. If overspeed by the driver , high end cars will not losse the grip and with all the advanced features, they will pull along. But these small , budget cars will not be able to sustain and they will give up. Any ways, very tragic incident...

    I'm requesting all, please wear seat belts while driving and drive safely. As read in newspaper I think, in this case they were not wearing seat belts and they were thrown out of the vehicle and due to this impact they have lost their lives.

    Dear All, Tata-Nano is a good economical car manufactured by the Visionary Mr Tata for the common man so every citizen could afford a 4 wheeler which is anytime safer than any 2 wheeler.

    However everyone needs to understand that not only Nano, but all small sized vehicles are city vehicles and should not be used to travel on interstate Highways .. When one travels by a small sized vehicle above 80 kms/hr , the vehicles starts swinging and easily lose control when huge trucks and buses pass by.
    Avoid using small cars on high speed on National Highways and interstate highways.

    please do not blame Nano for the accident. I have travelled 5 times on Nano from Bangalore to Udupi and by the grace of God all well. I wanted to tell all those negative commentators,please do not criticize vehicle for the accident. It can be happen to any best of the vehicles and we hear everyday in different parts of the world and then why blame Nano. Lets sympathize and pray for the kids to face the loss of their parents in the accident.Accidents are never planned and it can happen to anyone and to even a person walking on the pavement. Let's pray for the deceased and surviving kids.

    A modified AUTO RICKSHAW by the TATA's and yet it costs over a lakh rupees. The outer body resembles a paper pulp. Saving grace may be higher fuel efficiency, minus a weak and fragile body and a branded name by the TATA's. I think there is NO DIFFERENCE between the body of a Maruti and Nano. Why they opted to travel by this car is not known, or probably one will never know. RIP to the departed souls. Wonder how will the children be able to cope up after they are treated and who will replace their parents.

    We cannot change our destiny. In the mean time it's better/advisable to use bus service rather than using small car that too when travelling with family members.

    The pity is having lost the parents how the children would be able to bear the pain and face their future in life.
