Meanwhile in Florida...

So this happened a few blocks from my office...

I don't know that anything could grab my attention so completely....

So close to a Darwin award, should have tried harder.

Those freight trains are pretty quiet, I can see how it snuck up on her.

 

[Rolling Clones]

She'll probably sue the railroad.

Wonder if she also had earbuds in. Still. The earth shakes a little when a train goes by. Was she high too?

 

[SaraV]

Too engrossed in...whatever...to not notice the train, but aware enough to walk around the crossing gates?

 

[Cyclonick182]

I definitely like my new state but there are some folks down here that are a special kind of stupid.

 

[RING4CY]

Can stupidity be made against the law so people can be charged for it?

Which reminds me of a story I heard today from a fire fighter.
A day or two ago in the Suburbs of Chicago some drunk guy was running to try and beat the train. He made it across the tracks just in time, but part of the train that sticks out a little ways clipped the guy just as he crossed. It tore off pretty much the entire right posterior of his body. No more right calf, hamstring, or glute, and fractured his pelvis and femur. Also sustained head injuries and can't really move the left side of his body or see out of his left eye. Freaking idiot.

Someone just took a #2 in the gene pool

 

[MeanDean]

Wonder if she hit "send" in time.

If it happened today, I'd say she was just engrossed in the CF Gameday thread, ****** that Demon tried to start it.
