Do people just have no common sense!!

Post by Seeker »

Here is a clip of 10 idiots that I found on YouTube. Have a vote on who you think should get the biggest idiot award.

For me it's got to be number 2, that guy has a death wish but then again the couple on number 5, how could they walk away so carmly after that :shock:

For all those people that were running out infront of the trains, how do you think the engineers must of felt? To know that you can't do anything in a situation like that would be terrible.

And number 2 is simply asking to be killed.

I met an engineer who worked for VIA, he was running the train and hit some guy who decided to try to beat the train. Upon contact (the train was doing track speed, which was 80 MPH), both the driver and passenger were killed, their child survived because it was in a child seat. That's something both the engineer and conductor have to live with for the rest of their lives. People who tempt fate will eventually get burned.

Wow,. Are either of them still working in on the rails? Because I would think that would be hard to do.

It astonishes me that some of those people can't wait 2 or 5 minutes to wait for a passing train. I couldn't imagine throwing your life on the line in such a stupid way.

A friends dad was in a pub when a man that was as white as a sheet walked in. The barman asked what had happened and it transpired that he was a train driver. Te train he was driving had just hit a car that was purposefully parked on the level crossing (suicidal man), and had taken it a mile down the track. The driver walked all the way back to the level crossing in the rain to get help.
Ouch. [wincing smilie]

I detest people that commit suicide in front of trains etc.

If you're going to take your own life, you must have issues - but to f*** someone else's up along the way? That's inhuman.

Besides which, you might not be "killed instantly" - and if you aren't, that's gonna be agony.

Hmmm. The sign says that I'm not meant to drive around the barrier on the level crossing.
But if I do I won't be 1 minute late for work, I think I'll risk it.

Its just natural selection killing off the idiots :twisted: .
