China’s Fastest Trains Halted by a Cigarette
Remember the world’s newest and fastest train started running recently in China? Check this out:

The cigarette smoke triggered a fire alarm Tuesday on the train connecting the southern economic hub of Guangzhou to the central city of Wuhan — a journey now made at an average speed of 350 kilometres (217 miles) an hour.
The World's Fastest Train serves China
The train, which was still in the station when the incident occurred, was able to leave Guangzhou two-and-a-half hours later after a series of safety checks, the official Xinhua news agency reported late Wednesday.

It is also the world’s longest high-speed passenger train between Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province and Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province. The train travels at an average speed of 217 miles per hour.
