No.  No-no-no-no.

I thought about opening a thread like this myself a while back, decided it would be in bad taste and would open a can of worms that no-one could close short of a thread locking.

Kind of an odd/weird/morbid subject to devote a thread to.  Just saying. 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Trains hitting pedestrians is uncommon in Germany and much of Europe. Closer to home, I wonder about the incidence rate in Canada.  Why?

It isn't a matter of IF.  It is a matter of when!

I don't think this a good topic to continue. Hitting a vehicle or pedestrian effects the crew-don't kid your self but it does. One engineer I knew hit the bottle after his incident.  Even if it is not your fault, it still goes with you.
