The Elphistone Bridge stampede of September 29, 2017, that killed 23 people shook the daily commuter in all of us. "It could have been me" has been a recurring thought ever since. Now, a rap song by Cajetan Reddy (Catsbak) and Benjamin Yangal (Mc Benn), and produced by Robert Metri, is trying to bring the spotlight back on the incident. With lyrics like "They who Bezuban, Gawah di apni jaan, Nah thi unki pehchan, Murdo mein na zindo mein"; "Unity of Mumbai is what I'm proud of, but why does it crash, when we are in real need of it'; and "Maut ko saamne dekh sabko lagti apni jaan pyaari", the two rappers are trying to say that sometimes along with the government, it's humanity and how an ordinary person reacts to a situation as well, that counts.
