<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="cnwfan2"] <P>Its really amazing,and sickening how people can blame the railroad, for the stupidity of their own actions.Gee seems to me,that these kids were in a hurry...oh God forbid if we can wait a few minutes for the train to pass.No they had to do the most stupid thing and go around the gates.As sad as it is......they got what they deserved.Gee does the same thing apply to 3 kids in Fond Du Lac,WI who went 65 over Lone Rock Road,and lost control of the car,which slammed into a tree nearby? Or better yet..a 17 year old in Birnamwood,WI is going 80 over hills,passes a slow moving pickup truck ,loses control,and slams into a 65 year old woman that instantly kills her.Guess what..that 65 year old WAS my great aunt !!!!!!!!!!!! Both of these incidents were for the what.... joy of it...and yet there were concequenses paid for it!!!!Anyone want to debate me on the fact that teenagers shouldnt get a drivers license,let alone dont know what a road is,or how to drive responsibly on one ?!!!! Better yet,how about the people already on the road, that dont care about the other drivers!!!!!Anyone..anyone that wants to be that stupid.....deserves to get what is coming to them.Gee im sorry ..YOU dont have the time to wait?!!! Yet you can wait for your fast food,or a stop light to change,yet you cant wait for a trian? HMMMM is the grim reaper gonna wait for you to decide when you are going to die?There is nothing, that is going to change from something like this to happen again,except common sense,responsibility,and the fact that people need to take the time and enjoy what they have.Some of us dont have the chance to live a second or third life. As upset as I am about this..I appologize for my outburst.Im just sick of people who dont care,and their own stupidity.</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=verdana,geneva>Yes, but the jury found that the crossing gates failed to activate, and therefore, the jury found the BNSF to be at fault.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Therefore, there is no basis that I know of to conclude that the kids were stupid, too impatient to wait for a train, lacked common sense, or were acting irresponsibly.</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT face=verdana,geneva size=2></FONT></SPAN> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT face=verdana,geneva size=2>It is the jury’s job to find the truth, and they found the railroad to be at fault.</FONT></SPAN></P>
