[quote user="mersenne6"]    I showed the clip to a doctor friend who specializes in affairs of the mind and the immediate reaction to the video was suicide. She said the fact of other people in a vehicle would not necessarily act as a deterrent.  While we will obviously never know the drivers thoughts it is worth noting that stupidity, as an explanation, is not the only option.  Regardless, I agree with MP173, the survivors are going to need a lot of help.[/quote]To me, suicide as a motive in this crash, makes no sense whatsoever.  Why rush through a parking lot to catch up with a train to commit suicide, when you can methodically pull in front of one any time and get the timing right?  And I don't think the cause was driver stupidity.  I think she obviously knew she had the first train beat, and that is why she was moving fast when she hit the crossing.  The problem was that she did not see the second train because she was so focused on beating and not getting hit by the first train.  I would call the cause of her getting hit by the second train: distraction by trying to beat a train.
