Miss Deaf Texas Killed By Train

that's a sad story... what the hell is a deaf girl doing walking around out there?

Wouldn't you still see the train or feel it coming?
 
yeah even if she had her back to the train she would have to feel the tracks vibrating, when a train goes by it causes a lot of environmental disturbance, wind, dust, vibration etc.

The only thing I could think of is she was either drugged or just wanted to die

Not necessarily. I mean you would think she would feel the vibration or notice something, but about 10 years ago a guy in my town was killed by a train. He was out walking his dog early in the morning with headphones on walking away from the train. He left a wife and 2 kids behind so I doubt he wanted to die...

isn't that just asking for trouble? is it me?

I agree, most people would think twice about walking on railroad tracks...I'm just saying it's not necessarily the case. I could think of better ways for someone to kill themselves than to be hit by a train. But who knows.
 
yeah I could think of better ways too but you'd think walking on the tracks when you're deaf is a death wish and walking your dog on the tracks with a walkman on is just dumb. I hope the dog made it out alive at least.

:dj: Wouldn't his dog alert him about the uncoming danger?

Couldn't tell ya. Maybe it tried. I know the dog wasn't on a leash so maybe he wasn't paying too much attention to it. I'll have to dig up the story somewhere but I know they didn't consider it a suicide. And yes, the dog made it ok.

Some much for man's best friend. That dog was worrying about it's own ass!
 
Nothing smarter than walking home from the local watering hole half in the bag and following the tracks for a short cut. How many times has someone who lived in the burbs heard of this happening. That's one that hardly makes the news though.
