Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking Monday near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said.

A witness told Austin television station KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred.

*purses lips*

Um... Why would you walk along railroad tracks if you are deaf? That means she didn\'t look back for at least a minute. ho hum...

Post by: Viper_Fujax on March 15, 2006, 01:26:31 PM: i read this a couple days ago. I laughed, felt bad for laughing, then read that part again.

I dont think she was dumb for crossing a railroad track, but who doesnt look before they cross? especially if ur deaf.

I really dont get how people get hit by trains. Not sure if its the same as other places, but the only case someone gets hit by the trolley is if they get off one trolley then start walking to the other side and get hit by an oncoming one that they cant see (cuz the one they left is in the way). But...when you see a huge piece of steel coming at you..let the damn thing pass. If you dont, then im glad ur not reproducing.

Post by: square_marker on March 16, 2006, 06:47:11 AM: If you get killed by a train, you deserved to drive. Next time, maybe a rational deaf person will look both ways before crossing a pair of railroad tracks.

That would honestly be the last way I would want to die. Something at my funeral.... "Oh it\'s terrible, how did he did?" "Well, he was stuck by a train."

How do you let something hit you that is on a defined path! Idiots.

(damn, I feel guilty)
