I found this:

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/03/11/woman-walks-into-path-freight-train-while-texting-is-clipped-but-survives/?intcmp=latestnews



Hmm... give me a bag of
termites to munch while
walking, and I'd probably
do the same thing...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

"Two Amtrak trains were delayed during the investigation".

Why? Idiot walks into train, case closed.

Since the world is over populated maybe we should start subjecting all these stupid people to forced sterilization. Think about it. If they can't reproduce then eventually we'll see less of this sort of thing.

I'm pretty sure Lakeland passed an ordinance last year not allowing train horns at crossings.  I wonder if the CSX spokesperson mentioned that and the media decided not to point that out.  To me, that would be an important piece of information.

As a father of a 20 and 12 y/o it wouldn't have helped.  Once the phone goes in front of thier face any other sensory input is muted. :facepalm:

Story says she walked around the crossing gate.I doubt if a diesel horn blaring at her would have made any difference.Some people are naturally  born stupid.I think this woman worked for it. :D

Sadly the situation portrayed in the video posted by learmoia is all to real. In fact this was why I made the comment in my first post to this thread.
