What if it was 1000 people with broken bones and zero deaths? Would you find that unbelievable? How about a million?
The point is that there is some number of people with broken bones in a single incident that would make a reasonable person believe that somebody must have died. Maybe for you, it’s a billion people or something ridiculous. For me, it’s under 100.
How many people were on the train though? 100 out of 100 with broken bones? Nah, someone likely died. 100 out of 10,000? That’s a little more believable.
It doesn’t matter how many people were on the train. It matters how many people had broken bones. What if, instead of “broken bones”, it said “broken necks”? If you heard that an incident caused 100 broken necks, but there were zero deaths, would you find it hard to believe?
A broken bone is a serious injury typically caused by a strong impact. The fact that there were so many serious injuries suggests that there would be more deaths.
A neck and a finger are vastly different. If it was 100 broken fingers out of 10,000 passengers, I stand by it being believable no one died. If it was 100 broken necks out of 100 passengers and no deaths, then something’s fishy.
How is this unbelievable? It’s not uncommon for rail accidents to have low fatalities.

that’s impressive stuff, logic bomb.
