Yeah, hindsight is 20/20 even when you're deaf. I feel pretty sure everyone here has done something careless at some point in their lives that, with a different set of circumstances, would have led to their death. This girl just happens to be the unlucky one who got caught while she was off her guard.

Trains don't kill people. Text messaging does!

"She was walking northbound on the railroad ties as the train traveled northbound,” Detective David Fugitt said. “They sounded their horn, they were unable to get a response from her, they activated their emergency brakes however, they were unable to stop in time and she was struck by the front of the train."
Sounds like she was walking along the tracks. This is sad, but truly avoidable.

They merged the threads. Any links and refrences to the double thread are useless now. No need to get excited.
