In a disturbing end, tourists are flocking to the Kanchanjungha Express crash site in West Bengal to take selfies and collect souvenirs. The tragic accident, which claimed several lives, has turned into an unlikely tourist attraction. Locals and authorities are concerned as visitors are seen posing for photos and picking up debris, turning the somber location into a macabre spectacle.
