Wrong side driving - road safety

Recently, I went outstation on road by car due to some emergency. The distance covered one way was about 550 km. 

In this particular route, in one stretch, I had many near misses, as I found vehicles of all types like 4- / 2- wheelers, carts, etc coming straight opposite in the wrong direction. 

Assuming I am safe due to the road divider, I was driving at 80-100 kmph speed. But, as I entered this particular stretch, I narrowly missed opposite coming vehicles many times. Initially, I thought it is a one-time affair. But, there was a constant stream of vehicles of all types. In one particular place, I thought I got one more life. The truck coming opposite straight in the wrong direction to me was about to hit, after taking a turn from the other side at about 50 distance (which I did not expect such a thing can happen). To avoid a collision, I changed from the lane adjacent to the divider to the middle lane. But, this truck driver also moved to the middle lane, and hurriedly he moved to the first lane again, thus narrowly missing me. Further to this wrong direction driving, he started staring at me. 

I felt that this lane discipline is nothing and should be careful during driving in this stretch at all times that vehicles can come in all directions. 

Lorry rams liquid oxygen road tanker causing leak

As per TV news channel visuals and reports, today afternoon, a lorry collided with a liquid oxygen carrying tanker causing leakage of liquid oxygen, with white clouds all around. As per visuals, it is found that a few firefighters were spraying the water, whereas most of others were recording the incident in their mobile, standing in the white clouds.

Then, somebody made a statement that it is only oxygen and is not a harmful gas.

As per reports, for about 100 m radius, there was poor visibility for two hours. Vehicles moving in the area were sent back by 500 m as a precautionary measure.

Pure oxygen, though, not combustible, can accelerate combustion. The cryogenic liquid can even cause frost bites. Metals soaked in rich oxygen can catch fire easily. Similarly, persons exposed for long duration above 35% oxygen concentration can suffer lung damage and eye damage.

As per some recommendations (I remember Indian Chemical Manufacturers' Association - ICMA), in case of any accident, the vehicle is to be taken aside, and initially, about 300 m radius is to be cordoned to prevent persons approach.

It is very dangerous, the way, persons are seen moving around.

A document on fire hazards of oxygen and enriched oxygen atmospheres by Asia Industrial Gases Association, Singapore HERE can help persons ignorant of oxygen hazards, who think that oxygen is a safe gas.

Close shave for 3 jets at Chennai airport - The Times of India

As per the reports (Close shave for 3 jets at Chennai airport - The Times of India), a major collision between a plane landing and another plane about to takeoff was averted due to prompt action by the the pilot of the landing plane just in time. The plane about to take off delayed its takeoff as a plane that landed before did not vacate the runway and was at the end of the runway. The taking off plane after aborting its takeoff abruptly by applying '(hot) brakes', was taken for inspection bay for checks.

It is stated that due to maintenance of second runway, total load of about 400 daily flight movements are carried on single runway.
