You young folks today are so we sensitive....which isn't a bad thing. But, you've got to remember, back then, they didn't pay you any mileage for that time you took off to deal with "your" trauma and grief.......
Sad, yes...., all too common, and amazingly stupid.
I know several people who had some real bad ones, like the station wagon full of young kids killed in El Monte, when mom decided to go around the gates.... And yeah, those really do suck, because they were innocent victims of their mothers incredible stupidity.....
Maybe it's callous of me, but I just don't get as emotional about this kind of fool, or the wealthy supposedly well educated joggers, I now see all of the time, in places like Goleta or San Clemente, who put their ear buds in, and proceed to jog along the ties, utterly oblivious of oncoming trains......
