Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Not that you should need one, but here’s another reason to avoid getting yourself hit by a train. If part of your silly ass ends up injuring someone nearby, your estate might end up having to pay for it. Ruling in what it called a “tragically bizarre” case, an appeals court found that the estate …

https://twitter.com/CarlyAlmighty/status/1131517122428002305 This fella here, who apparently nearly had his lunch eaten by an oncoming train about 30 seconds after this video was shot, turns out to be an elementary school principal here in town. That’s comforting. The principal of an elementary school has apologized after a man stood on railway tracks to take cellphone photos …

That title is awful. I know. It’s the best I had. Sometimes the perfect selfie is the one you don’t take. The one with you and the speeding train that’s headed right for you, for instance. The 21-second-long video was shared thousands of times on Facebook on Wednesday. In it, Mr Siva is seen standing …
If I live another hundred years, I will still never understand how it is that a person can get himself so distracted that he fails to notice something the size of, the sound of and the feel of a fucking train. People often try when we publish one of these stories, but there is literally …

Today in “People do things like this in groups?”, police are looking for 4 people who are reported to have shat onto the top of a train as it passed under a bridge. Officials say they received a report from a P&W railroad conductor that on Monday, four people standing on a train bridge at …
I mentioned this last week and then Carin followed up, and now there’s a news article about it. And as I feared, nobody over at Via or the government bothered thinking the unmanned train station plus person requiring help thing all the way through. The government, however, is quick to point out that none of …

Steve’s Via Rail post from the other day got me thinking, and worried, and when that happens, I do what I always do…pick up the phone and bug the powers that be. Here’s how it went. The first lady I got was about half past useless. She told me she didn’t know for sure if …
