- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -4/+43pretty funny if you ask me
- MikeonTV, on 10/10/2007, -7/+45"The only way the train could have missed him was if it could make a turn," Elmwood Place Mayor Richard Ellison said Monday.
You cynical prick. - D3IM0S, on 10/10/2007, -4/+40Now just imagine how he's going to win his Darwin Award...
- thechosen, on 10/10/2007, -9/+40"lol dood just crossing tehtracks an-" CRASH
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33Probably his BFF Jill.
- TubbyCat, on 10/10/2007, -7/+35About time!
- ronh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21OMFG, hit by train. BRB.
- djvchris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18I'd hate to see him drive and text...
- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19i dunno timusca, you've gotta be pretty fit to be hit by a train without looking and live to tell about it. no one ever said evolution favors the smart.
- timusca, on 10/10/2007, -5/+22Survival of the Fittest fails... this guy should have died.
- nVoy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13"Hey Bob, you remember the other day you were asking me what the definition of irony was, and I said, --AHHHHH."
- crazymonkey1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11And these people are driving cars...
- johndi, on 10/10/2007, -8/+16He isn't dead, Captain Darwin let him off with a stern warning.
- byp494, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9"Smith, 18, was on Township Avenue about 10 a.m. Monday waiting to cross the tracks. The gates were down to allow a CSX train to continue its southbound route."
The gates were down!! That means he was able to pay enough attention to know the train went by then dumbass should know to wait until the gates go up. This is a case of no frickin common sense.
'Does common sense cease to exist when more than half the population doesn't have any?' - ME - SpyDerMann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7There might be still a chance for him to win, if he the accident got him sterile. Cross your fingers everyone! :P
- zanekessie, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Some people do not yet know how to harness the power of the cellphone. Impossible as it may seem, some people are capable of texting/talking on the phone and still be aware of their surroundings.
- kingfoot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7see, technology isnt slowing evolution...
- Fhwqhgads, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Two Darwin Award attempts on Digg in just a few days!
(guy going overboard to chase a beer bong was the first.) - mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That's why he said "imagine HOW"
- xerexes1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6From the last paragraph of the article:"There had been "practically no" incidents at that railroad crossing" - What?
- geeshock, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Theory of evolution in action.
- scottykempf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Nature gave you senses for a reason. Use them and be aware of your surroundings, and you might survive for a while.
- DesuKN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Welcome to the internet. Harden the ***** up.
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -1/+5Eh, not a big deal, he lived.
Guy was walking down the tracks next to my house, listening to an ipod, and couldn't hear a train coming.
Needless to say, his train did come, and they found his head, with the ipod earphones still attached, about 4 miles down the tracks separated from the body. - MacGyver2210, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I don't know, but at least I'm sure he RTFA...
- ronaldinho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3don't forget about the XBox kid who tried to put it in water to prevent overheating. Just as dumb, just as capable for the Darwin Award
- SpyDerMann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Maybe there's a chance he's got ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). As a person with ADD, I've experienced that when I'm concentrated on something, I can hear loud sounds and yet they don't ring a bell (like "hello, I'm here!"). However, that's no excuse for him to text message in the middle of a railroad.
- CraigJ, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Evolution in action
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Evolution doesn't favor the smartest, it favours those with an advantage (ANY advantage).
It just happens that smartness is one of those. - ballast, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5One hell of a first offense is all I have to say!
- kamikaze87, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3*****. He didn't die. Okay I am now accepting applications for jokes.
.....sorry. Oh...and I did read the article but I was texting. - CraigJ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3RTFA.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I was taking the bus to work this morning, and I saw some chick in traffic on the freeway, texting and looking at her phone while driving only 10 feet behind another car, I kept hoping she'd crash.
- atbnet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Except he didn't die.
- givinupthefight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He still qualifies for an honorable mention, without a doubt.
- crashingechelon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hmm it looks like whatever I can say about this will get dugg down. How in the world do you get hit by a train while typing a text message on your phone? A car would be understandable since something could have happened to the driver or car. A train, I mean come on, it's not like they come out of no where. I feel bad for the guy getting hit, but not for what he was doing that caused the accident.
- TheKricket, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2how long before bush learns to text and walk at the same time?
- CTSPatrick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Train hit by Text-Messager would be more correct. Poor train, it really couldn't have moved out of the way.
- Ruathal, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Brother Maynard: It reads, "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Aramathia. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the Castle of Aaauuuggghhh..."
King Arthur: What?
Brother Maynard: "The Castle of Aaaauuuggghhhh"
Sir Bedevere: What is that?
Brother Maynard: He must have died while carving it.
King Arthur: Oh come on!
Brother Maynard: Well, that's what it says.
King Arthur: Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't have bothered to carve 'Aaaauuuggghhhh'. He'd just say it.
Sir Galahad: Maybe he was dictating it. - stenhard, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Maybe he was helping a friend with a math problem?
"Let's see...if a train leaves Dayton OH @ 8:10 AM heading S. @ 30mph and a train leaves Lexington KY at 7:48 AM heading N at 35mph they ought to meet in Cincinnati right abou...." - Zoltair, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'd be the one sanding on corner, pointing and saying "HAA HAA.."
- bemenaker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wouldn't be prudent.... (yeah, wrong bush, sue me)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2That's SNF
- ronaldinho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Honestly, look both ways before you cross the street/tracks. Maybe he wants to be up for the Darwin award. Thankfully he survived, hoped he learned his lesson. Can't kids just stop texting for even one moment!?
- theFuzzyWarble, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm all for Stupidity, as a form of population control.
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2have you ever even heard a train? this isn't one of those unfortunate accidents where someone happens to take the wrong route on the way home and a tree falls through their windshield and kills them. this kid walked in front of a train with full ability to hear and see it... yet somehow he was SO engrossed in texting he blocked out A TRAIN. stupidity of this magnitude elicits no sympathy from me.
- kamikaze87, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Viagra doesn't work for the internetz.
- ubuwalker31, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1so the sounds of two trains converging might sound weird and confusing, right?
- kamikaze87, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1YEAH HAHA crazy.
