    Some people try to claim you can excuse this as a safety warning

    But then this happens and you realise it's only an excuse

    With Christmas coming up, I'm always reminded by the video.
    I know it sounds weird, but I guess his family must have it so hard around this time.
    We're even coming up to the 10 year anniversary next year. The vivid image of that poor mans tragic demise will never leave me :(

    Sorry for the bump mods. Perhaps it may let some of those unfamiliar with this tragic case appreciate their loved ones more over the festive period.

    Jaysus, this is more appropriate in the WTF thread. Why didn't the driver stop? You can see the kid's legs being hit by the cow catcher, hopefully that child is fine and the catcher probably just brushed the kid out of the way. What sort of place has that rail system installed? Just mental.

    The train driver had plenty of time to stop, can’t believe she hit the parent and child. Horrific ☹️

    Shur a buggy has no hope against a train. Bit scarred after that tbh, and I don't scar easily.

    Easy for you to say.

    Maybe the driver froze or the brake stuck,
    or maybe, just maybe smooth steel wheels on smooth steel rails have a very low coefficient of friction.

    In an emergency a TGV Atlantique can stop in as little as 3.5Km , this train wasn't going that fast, but there was nothing the driver could do because - momentum.

    I pity the driver, PSTD is a bitch even when you know you did every thing you could.

    You’re right, the driver could have froze when seeing them on the tracks. The timings on the barriers need to be looked at too, I don’t think they come down early enough. A bit more time and they may have been able to get off the tracks, they come down quite quickly.

    To be honest,If he died of Corona virus would he be remembered 11 years later?
    No chance!
    At least he went out in a blaze of glory and is
    forever embedded in the minds of people worldwide!

    I was talking about this with my young son at dinner earlier on today.

    I thought that with the migration to vanilla this video might have been deleted or lost. No such luck.

    The type who wants to make sure my 5 year old never plays on the tracks. It’s quite simple really. If someone had spoken to the fool on the tracks here then the real victim (the train driver who has to live with the memory of all that blood n guts) wouldn’t have been out in that position

    1. I was told there are no girls on the internet. Unless they're very friendly and near you. But I'm not that kind.

    1. There's such a thing as being "age appropriate". Now you've put off your poor child from a career in Irish Rail for life. I hope you're proud of yourself.

    1) You are a mod. Of course you are not friendly.


    2) HOW DARE YOU CRITIQUE MY PARENTING METHODS!!!

    It is my job to make sure the child lives to get revenge on his own kids for how badly I've fcked him up, like my father did with me, his father did with him, and so on and so on back through 5 generations of KH's
