Something similar damned near happened to me. I was in a Montreal underground station – very nice with a large & beautiful tile mosaic over the tunnel entrance. Standing at the edge of the platform, I leaned out to get a photo of the mosaic. Those electric trains run on rubber tires on concrete rails – they’re VERY quiet! One was approaching rapidly from behind me, and I didn’t hear it. If a man hadn’t pulled me back I would’ve been hit. I did get the photo though, and it also shows a guy looking at me in alarm.

Ya can't fool me... I saw that racist train swerve to hit him! I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

Both of those videos were funny. The first one was funnier on slow motion. I wish the shutter rate speed was faster though so that his face was more discernable as the train hit him. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I've seen enough people killed by trains due to bad weather/low visibility or others bad decisions (hit from behind and forced into the train). This is a level of stupidity that I can't get my head wrapped around. My only response in each of the cases noted here is they had it coming.

Healthy fear and respect for trains, myself. My old man was a border patrolman working the train yards in El Paso for a while in the 70's. There was one time these fellas went running under a slow-moving train that was going about a mile or two an hour, thinking they were fast and spry so they would be fine and the migra wouldn't follow. One of them misjudged something in the course of the crossing, got caught, and that was that. The train don't give a shit, it keeps on moving. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

I so want to see the "after" photos. John The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity. | |||
