[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ironhorseman [:(] I guess I can can keep saying this until I'm blue in the face and people will still not listen and still not heed the warning, but STAY OFF THE RAILROAD TRACKS, ALWAYS! AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN: I've never seen anyone hit by a train and I hope to never have to, but I've seen pictures of the results and 1 video. The video was shown on TV several years ago. A rail car was blocking visibility of the tracks on the left and despite the warning lights and train horn and people warning other people not to cross people darted across anyway. Finally it arrived, but one person wasn't so lucky. A woman stepped on the rail and saw the train coming and stepped back. Two people tried to run across right after this. The man was sideswiped by the train. The little girl was hit head on dead center. The TV didn't show the rest. They stopped the video on the final frame before she was hit. I found the video on the internet a few months later. It shows the girl being hit, flying through the air, and landing a the base of the cameraman, at least 30 feet or more from the point of impact, which cause the camera to topple over. It's a horrifying video yet I watched it again and again. Frame by frame. In slow motion and reverse. Needless to say the image is forever burned on my brain. Sincerely, ironhorseman [:(!][xx(][:(] http://www.oli.org/ [/quote] Kevin found this video somewhere and emailed it to me. It is very sad and very shocking. Should anyone want to have it emailed to them either Kevin or I would be glad to do so. You should note before hand that it is real and very shocking. A life was taken, needlessly. It is so sad, yet a reminder that maybe we should see every now and then to remind us of what CAN happen. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN, yet it did.
