Train hits cell phone talker

<p>I recall a few articles where a few cell phone callers would have pressed a palm into one ear to block out the roar of the train horn in emergency while trying hard to hear the phone in the other.</p><p>Today's phones carry internet, live radio and live TV streams and are even more engrossing. Maybe the railroad can use the blue tooth and broadcast a message locally in text and in voice saying "STEP BACK FROM THE TRACKS RIGHT NOW!" that will override whatever is going on on any phone in range at that time.</p><p>I would have loved to hear what the conductor had to say out of the window but I doubt that it would have helped this person. Maybe a good knock on noggin will be a great reminder not to get near tracks again. Beats being garden-hosed off into a bag.</p><p>Regarding the Escort of parade goers... *Shakes head. suppose one of those cars was hauling Inhalation Hazard gas?</p><p>Look Listen in Live. Anyone still remember that? Apparently not.</p>
