RIP

On the train note, 5 "kids" in my general area yesterday tried to go around 2 cars and past the railroad gate to beat a train. They didn't make it and all 5 were killed. They were in a Focus, and the train was travelling at 67 mph when it hit them and pushed them a 1/2 mile.

Ages were between 14 and 20, the driver had a suspended license.

I for one am truly saddened. I hope the rest of the family, her husband, and infant daughter get all the help they will need to get through this difficult time.

infant daughter

a kid i was friendly with in HS shot himself last year

I don't understand how people with kids can do that. Those kids are gonna be effed for life.

Suicide is selfish. I wish the best to her surviving family. It is going to be a long damn road for them.

A friend of mine did something similar. We were hanging out at store in the town I grew up at and we heard the train whistle, and he said "I'm goning to try and beat the train" and he took off running. We were like wtf? The train won and we still don't know why he did it or even tried. You could see the train coming for about a mile and you knew no one could ever make it. But he kept running.

My feelings exactly. Go jump off a bridge or something.

Jumping in front of a train not only traumatizes the surviving family, but how about any onlookers or the train operators? A selfish act, performed in a selfish way.
