    I saw this on Telifis Eireann news at lunchtime today, A 32 year old man has survived being hit by a flat-bed truck that was rammed by a train at a level crossing in Turkey.

    It was pretty amazing wasn't it, looks like he managed to survive by a matter of inches. But it has me wondering, what was he doing ? Was he supposed to be helping the HGV come out of the warehouse type place by keeping an eye out to prevent such an accident happening ?

    How did neither he nor the truck driver notice the ****IN HUGE train coming down the line:confused:

    Yeah he's lucky to be alive but probably caused the accident in the first place too.
