Amazed at how quickly the train was able to slow down

And glad to see the crossing was not blocked, the gates went up

It doesn't seem she was drunk since no charges were filed. The cops say that talking on the cell phone was a factor..... http://www.wyff4.com/news/14353866/detail.html

Don't judge her too harshly, Jim.

Remember, as her defense attorney will point out, it's a disease.
