Train Kills Camels
Posted by Victrola1 on Thursday, December 19, 2013 11:21 AM

Fourteen camels were killed near the Negev town of Segev Shalom after being struck by an oncoming train. No passengers were injured in the collision.

Would a camel make a bigger mess than hitting a deer, or a cow?

Wasn't the train crew notified about "do not hump"?

But, yes, a bigger mess because they are so much bigger than deer.

It is mentioned at the bottom of the story that some cows were struck near Beersheba. Considering the location were holy cows struck also?
