    I would blame the parents were she under 18 but !
    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.

    Of course not, the only reason this was posted was to get some class of humourous response.

    Ooh, Cormic can tell the future!

    Does answering the question before it is asked make me evil?

    I'm right there with you Super!

    I'm sorry but just the topic title had me smiling already, then the story inside sealed the deal. :)

    I'll see you in hell super_furry, maybe we can get a warm flat beer there. ;)

    I love the headline
    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

    I was expecting
    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, train crumpled like tin-foil.

    For her, probably - for the train driver.. I think not.

    How can you get hit by a train by walking near railway tracks? Did the train swerve to avoid something and hit her?

    If a train is passing speedily, you can be pulled under if nearby the tracks..

    She was a bit thick for walking close enough to the tracks when she knew she wouldn't have heard any danger. Also if I was walking around the tracks, regardless of whether I'm deaf or not I'd keep a look out. Not that I'm thick enough to walk around tracks like that.

    She was obviously missing common sense as well as her hearing.




  • Sounds like a suicide, she would have felt the vibrations for sure.

    I posted it because I reckoned she was borderline for the 2006 Darwin Awards but given Last Years Darwin Awards Winners she probably won't make it.

    Slobodan teating himelf for leprosy to fuk up his own blood pressure should do though :D
