polymorphic nested comments make_resourceful routing problem, when deleting comments

if i visit for example http://0.0.0.0:3000/newscasts/3 and delete a comment there, i get routed to http://0.0.0.0:3000/articles/3/comments get the error: 

No route matches "/articles/3/comments"

when i then go per typing url to http://0.0.0.0:3000/articles/3 the comment still exists
