Listen to this isiot, he still going on with the story "Trains are as out of control as drunk drivers" <br />ok now lets play pre-school.. <br /> <br />Now factor this in.. Trains run on their own Property, other RR property.. OK.. so let' <br />s call it "private property" Cuz thats what it is! <br /> <br />Now that we figured out the trains run on private property.. where do they have collisions with cars? (99% of the time?) <br /> <br />A) in the middle of farmers frields? <br />B) in the middle of a dense forest? <br />C) at a railroad car crossing? <br />D) or at your momma's house. <br /> <br />ok, i'll give you the answer because i believe your too stupid to figure it out.. <br /> <br />C) is the correct answer... at a railroad crossing! so lets see.. theis train is capable of traveling anywhere else.. no problem... but as soon as it crosses a crossing and some idiot has left their car there.. It's the trains problme.. it's their fault <br /> <br />let's here what the pannel of judges has to say to this.. ooo.. WRONG! <br /> <br />it's like you, missouri.. when your drunk.. and you decide to do figure eight's in your front lawn with your car.. Will anyone care.. no unless your keeping people awake.. whose loss is it.. yours.. YOUR on your own property and you have a right to do whatever you want, right? <br /> <br />i would also like to point out this.. an car travels on average 60 miles a day. you may be less, you may be more... <br />60 miles times (5280) = 316, 800 Feet travelled. <br />(5280 being the conversion number from miles to feet) <br />now let's say you have to cross one grade crossing.. which spans a total of 20 feet.. (big exadgeration) so let's see.. 20/316, 800 = <br />(expressed in a percentage) is: <br /> 0.0063131% (31 repeating).... <br />thats less then 1% <br />thats less then 0.1% <br />that's less then 0.01% <br /> <br />Rememebr: <br /> <br />1/ 8 million you get struck by lgihtning <br />(0.0000125%) <br />1/17 million.. winnign the lottery (certain places it's harder) <br />(0.000000058%) <br />1/39.5 Billion.. that your standing on a railroad crossing, a train is 200 feet away from you bearing down on you at 55 MPH. the chances of it derailing and not hitting, not touching you.. you remain 100% intact while you stand on the tracks are... 1/39.5 billion <br />(2.53 E-11) (somehting like 0.0000000000253) <br /> <br />those are the facts.. tlak about low chances.. so not exactly missouri the most liekly of stories <br /> <br />Detour kev. <br /> <br />those are the facts
