Attempt to beat train in Mich. ends 5 young lives

[tyler811]

One silly mistake cuts short 5 lives

When I think back on some of the crazy sh!t we did ... it's a wonder bad things didn't happen.

That's not tragic, it's natural selection.

19yr old driver w/a suspended license. I guess we have some overkill here, at the very least the driver was asking for it.

 

[panipoori]

others didnt deserve it but the driver did for sheer stupidity

Stupidity kills.

That'll teach them.

Michigan huh? I remember growing up outside of Detroit and having a whole homeroom class devoted to the dangers of trains, way back in middle school. I always thought it was sort of a "duh" scenario....

As much as I want to agree, I have to disagree. All five of them were not at the wheel. One kid took the other 4 peoples lives' into his hands. It is tragic indeed.

I beg to differ. Any one of those 4 could've stopped their friend from driving them into death, but they didn't. They probably encouraged the driver to beat the train.

You would think at least one of the four would tell the driver to stop or knock his ass out.

I wonder why I can't conjure up much pity?

I'm sure a few of those kids in the back didn't deserve it, but this is what happens when you try to best a FUCKING TRAIN.

"Not a reckless driver," Bulmer said. "He just didn't think all the time."

Well that's not exactly good either.

I find it hard to believe that the passengers would have had time to commandeer control of the vehicle from the driver and bring it to a stop before the accident. Chances are the passengers didn't know what was going on til the dumbass pulled around and started through



Very sad story

They most likely never saw the train and died without even knowing it was about to happen.

4 innocent people killed by one dumb-ass driver.

 

[amdhunter]

He was probably speeding and couldn't stop the car in time. He went into that intersection pretty fast.

You think the lowered crossing gate, flashing lights, and noise would give them a clue.

Whats up with the 14 year old staying overnight at friends houses without telling her parents? Obviously some real bad parenting going on there and some out of control kids. Unfortunately it got them killed.

I know it's "cool" on AT to be an uncaring piece of shit, but FFS 5 people died and only one of them made the decision to try to beat a train.

It was their choice to get into a car with a shitty driver.
