You nailed it. There sure has been a lot of garbage piled on here lately - and not all from supposed lawyers. But its the lawyers who are laughing - all the way to the bank. They'll keep on doing it too, until we wise up and demand that the hazards be removed. None of this is funny at all - though maybe we SHOULD just cool our jets a little! We must all face facts. A truck, or any object, even a pedestrian, will take a certain amount of time to clear the crossing once it starts across. If they can't see a train coming that long before the train gets there, and are not otherwise warned, then its only a matter of time. Any amount of carefulness or studidity on the part of drivers and pedestrians is then absolutely irrelevent - AN ACCIDENT IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. Only the timing of the accident and who gets killed is in question. (Someone could pass around a "Football" pool and guess how long it will take - and which engineman is involved. But actually, anytime ANYBODY crosses such a "blind crossing", train or car, it's the same gamble - but with lives at stake instead of just money). No matter how much we put down lawyers, tresspassers, idiot drivers, or anyone else, incuding this missouri person, or even me. WE AIN'T GONNA FAKE OUT MOTHER NATURE. Its the laws of physics that govern here - without mercy. Being that none of us is God, none of us are going to repeal natural law. - not even the lawyers! Or the politicans, or the stupid highway designers! FIX THE G&*D@#& CROSSING. Then we can all sleep at night - and the lawyers will have fewer ambulances to chase. And it doesn't matter to me who pays to fix it - railroad company or goverment; though it probably should be the jerks who put the crossing there in the first place, THE STATE! Now hopefully everyone has their rant off their chests - and maybe we can all chill out and work together to solve stuff rather than just b@tch about it. RmC
