Teen dies playing chicken with train

[n8tive97]

Yup, ban trains....

I am sure there is a lawsuit on the way

The rail company will pay out millions when it is learned the train was going 4mph faster compared to the other 48 times the dead teen "won" the game of chicken. The teen would still be alive if the train would have followed rail company standard operating procedures and been going the correct speed.

Was it a scary black tactical train?

The train company should preemptively sue the family of previously discussed moron for inflicting emotional suffering on the engineer. And make the amount sought to be so significant as to quell any absurd ambulance-chasers from going after the train company in the first place.

Scratch one future Liberal.






Off to a good start!

Actually the RR could sue for damages to the train because the tracks are on private property and it is marked no trespassing.

Friend of mine got drunk one night and went "Train Surfing" in the Bronx. Got his head taken off. Stupid way to die.

Choo-choo's ain't nothing to fuck around with. And slamming on the brakes into an emergency stop can cause a lot of expensive damage. For one, flat spots on every wheel on the train. Those will likely have to be fixed or replaced. Big $$$$$.

100-150lb Teenager vs 5,000 Ton train... I like those odds.

We need more regulation!!! It's not enough that trespassing on the tracks is illegal. We need a specific law that playing chicken with trains is illegal. We also need background checks on anyone that comes within 100ft of any train. We also need to ban high capacity trains. Most weigh between 3000-8000 tons, but some can weigh up to 13,000 tons. Who needs to transport 13,000 tons of goods? The limit should be 1000 tons. If it only saves one life, we need to do this!!!!
