- Necronomicana, on 07/04/2009, -3/+73They should go back to putting cattle guards on modern trains. It may not save lives but it would likely lead to some nice flight patterns by the carcasses.
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -12/+68How ***** stupid do you have to be to be hit by a ***** train?!
If it's not suicide, you deserved to die. - kimbja98, on 07/04/2009, -0/+56It has finally happened...Amtrak has become self-aware...
- absolutelytrue, on 07/04/2009, -2/+49This reminds me of that time the guy got hit by a bus, then was in a wheelchair and got hit again in the same location by another bus and died.
- arunforce, on 07/04/2009, -3/+40Ban the trains, this is an obviously a threat on our safety!
- KRG12345, on 07/04/2009, -1/+35Double Kill!
- akchrs, on 07/04/2009, -1/+35If it was cold out and you licked the traintrack your tongue would get stuck.
- benroy, on 07/04/2009, -0/+31Damntrak.
- ProtocolDroid, on 07/04/2009, -6/+33http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVr5AJz2xNo#t=3m34s
Disagreed. - KrAzEBen, on 07/04/2009, -1/+27Clearly it was a stealth train, came out of nowhere
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -0/+26I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
- Kate1240, on 07/05/2009, -0/+22I agree with soccerman, the pedestrian can walk anywhere he wants, yet he chooses to walk on a track or in the path a train... Seriously. It is the stupid person who is at fault.
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -0/+20from the comments (and ditto):
"I feel so bad for both train drivers. Even though the victims were probably suicides, it's still hard to live with."
"they need to make it easier to jump off the golden gate bridge, so the trains (Amtrack & CalTrain) can stop killing people." - djm19, on 07/04/2009, -1/+20Correction: People trespassed into the path of a train
- twiztidsinz, on 07/04/2009, -2/+21Trains are sneaky *****....
(also, you could get stuck) - madrona, on 07/04/2009, -1/+1915 passengers on the whole train. No wonder Amtrak is losing money.
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -1/+18trains > humans
- akchrs, on 07/04/2009, -0/+17crap
http://www.dochemp.com/images4/skagway1e.jpg - Zippo, on 07/05/2009, -0/+16Right, because trains aren't incredibly loud, on tracks, or anything like that.
- edd17, on 07/05/2009, -1/+16Absolutely, these "locomotives" need to confined to set paths to allow people to know exactly where they will be coming from and where they will be going, and a predetermined timetable so people can know when they will be likely to encounter one.
- hbyrne, on 07/04/2009, -0/+14That does sound familiar. Didn't it go something like "Man killed by bus had been hit by bus before". Yes, I think it did: http://bit.ly/YAMXU
- Xaevier, on 07/04/2009, -0/+13This is why anti-train protests never get very far.
- twiztidsinz, on 07/04/2009, -3/+14You realize a train can go nearly half a mile (~0.443miles) in 20 seconds if it's limited to 80MPH? Some trains can get up to 125MPH and cover a bit more track at ~0.691 miles in 20 seconds.
I'm not saying it takes that long to get out of your shoes, especially if you're panicked and rushing... but people tend to underestimate the speed of trains and the distance they can travel. - mark5hs, on 07/04/2009, -0/+11Nice comma, placement dude
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -1/+11Get stuck...
How? - jayjayjoni, on 07/04/2009, -3/+13Is it that hard to move out of the way?
- S1ngular1ty1, on 07/05/2009, -0/+9Totally agree. A train travels along a predetermined path. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to avoid being hit by one. Just stay off the damn track people!
- gcacho, on 07/04/2009, -0/+8I agree with this comment at the bottom of the story:
they need to make it easier to jump off the golden gate bridge, so the trains (Amtrack & CalTrain) can stop killing people. - Charun, on 07/04/2009, -2/+10I think I can speak for a lot of people here when I say yes, it is that bad.
But don't take it from me, see what Portugal thinks.

Those people paid to be at the concert. - Crass22, on 07/05/2009, -0/+8Thats crazy talk, do you realize how complicated of a system that wuld really be?? Buried for innacuracy!
- skidork, on 07/04/2009, -2/+9Lmao....Train tracks are made of sugar in the winter....go on, try it.
- cheekdog, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7people see the trains as these big-ass machines. in their suicidal (half) brains they don't consider that there is someone actually driving the train. it's cruel, really.
- sexybobo, on 07/05/2009, -0/+71. It can takes miles for trains to stop.
2. The dumb asses shouldn't have been on the track.
3. The article clearly stated after the first accident they replaced the crew working on the train with a fresh crew. - moliver21, on 07/04/2009, -0/+6This sounds like it could be in an episode of the X-Files.
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -0/+6link fail
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -0/+6My boss had his skull shattered by a bus wing mirror while standing at a crossing. He still looks a bit spastic.
- zimsters, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6Amtrak: 2
Humans: 0 - Dargundiggdog, on 07/04/2009, -0/+6That's what he gets for not wearing his train repellant....I always wear mine just incase..
- undervalued, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6"I was just walking along quietly on this track thing and a damn train jumps up and jits me! There should be a law against them ya know"
- altinnovation, on 07/04/2009, -0/+5How many people have read the article? They suspect that both cases were most probably suicides.
- starmanfalls, on 07/04/2009, -2/+7Train tax!! Now, it is the only way to stop the needless carnage on the rails. A BIG Tax and a CZAR too.
- inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5I'd abandon the bike under those circumstances.
- dronkmunk, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5This reminds me of that poem by Jeff Ross:
"I miss her sometimes"
I saw ran into my ex-girlfirend the other day.
Then I backed up, and ran into her again.
I miss her sometimes. - inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5California needs a high-speed train to better serve suicidal taxpayers.
- CountryTime, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5Union Horrific.
- Advenger, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4I coin "Murder Train".
- sexybobo, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4I am 99% sure he was making fun of gun control in england.
- mdp8889, on 07/04/2009, -3/+7You should probably get your ears checked out... I think theyre broken..
- inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4Sounds dangerous, I hope they put it down.
