Is it me or are younger drivers getting worse everyday.

At least there are no graphic pics to be displayed on ATOT, unlike the thread about the young chick who stole her fathers Porsche and decided to try and out run police in it...until she encountered a concrete barrier.

Those pics were disgusting.

I doubt any lawsuit would stick anyways, if you watch the video, he passes the white car and from that camera angle doesn't even appear to slow down. At least I hope they didn't see it coming and at least death was most likely instantaneous. From what I'm hearing from a relative who knows some of the local PD and such, the train was going approximately ~64mph at time of impact and they bodies were apparently so mangled they were identifying the bodies from jewelry and clothes they had on.

Never know. They could claim that at the time of day the accident occurred the glare of the sun was too bright and interfered with the view in the direction of the train. They could also state that the railroad should have installed full road crossing gates to further deter the public from crossing in front of a train.


It's all part of this whole "it's not my fault" mentality that the world has now. I couldn't see because of the glare so instead of slowing down the big bad railroad should install some apparatus that blocks the sun's glare at their crossings. They should also place large concrete filled steel barricades in front of all railroad crossings so that if someone is unable to see down the tracks in one direction they will be forced to stop and look both ways instead of CHOOSING to stop and look both directions since their view is obstructed and the gate is down and the lights are flashing.

You might think this is silly but...........
The Bello family?s train accident lawsuit alleges that CSX should have improved safety at the crossing?for example, installation of barriers to stop sun glare or full gates across the road. Either of these might have prevented Christopher Bello?s railroad death.

Silly to say, when only one person made the bad decision.

From the fucking article:

"Phyllis Harris, the Harris brothers' grandmother, said she had warned Sean on Wednesday night not to get into a car with Broughton because they had gotten pulled over by police before."

Bad decisions all around. Sucks for them it cost them everything. Doesn't mean shit to me, I didn't know them, so I don't care.

you're assuming that they were totally innocent...how do you know they were not egging the driver on?

do you REALLY think this was the drivers first attempt at doing something stupid?

How may stop lights or stop signs do you think they ran?

this kind of irresponsible driving does not just happen over night....I would be willing to bet the driver had a rep for this kind of shit.

sorry.....life's a bitch.....I would rather see these five idiots go up in flames than some mother and her 6 month old hit head on by this fuckwad....sorry but Darwin got it right.

The real tragedy is that you have to bring your life's treadmarked baggage into a forum like this. Life must have been a bitch.

Bitter antisocial attention whores really deserve their own board, so if anyone has the audacity to post about anything on it, they can all trash the post, discredit the poster, and insult the responses, and in the process cowardly convincing themselves they're acquiring lots of 'manpoints'. 😀

Sorry, meant to say the human race is stronger that these kids died and you've survived to this point. "Natural selection" at its finest!

Its ATOT. More likely, the really hard core asswipes here were socially inept nerds or geeks who HAD NO SOCIAL LIFE in high school and never had an opportunity to ride around in a car with a bunch of other people at this age because no one wanted to associate with them. In their mind, the kids in this car probably represent the 'popular' clique, merely by the fact they evidently had more than one friend who was not also their mom. I can't think of any other reason for such hateful and unfeeling comments.

 
Wow, I'm still suprised at the responses on ATOT although I shouldn't be, seen it here before. Shame on you.

Anyways, regarding the accident, that really sucks, and it's one of the reasons I'm scared shitless when I'm driving with someone who can't drive well. With crazy people like that I don't even get into the car. I'm lucky though because I had a few friends in my teen years that drove like lunatics. I'm happy to be alive.
 
i have to admit, while in high school, i've been in one of these cars where my life was at a high risk due to a retard delinquent driver at the wheel. very, very dumb move on my part in hindsight.

in situations like this, it's socially difficult to sway the driver to drive more safely (especially if they're like a bit older than you). the only way to ensure safety is to get the hell out of the car. i consider myself lucky to not have gotten into any accidents with these types of drivers.

so when this dumbass driver tried to make a dash for the train, i find it highly unlikely that he woulda came to a stop if the passengers told him to stop; this dumbass has a proven history to back this assumption up.

after more careful consideration, i give darwin +1. sucks for the passengers, but they also knew they were taking a risk and were fully aware of who was at the wheel.

splattered brain and other organ/fleshy material at the scene of an accident where a porsche crashed into a toll booth.

Its one of the more brutal internet sets of pics imo (and if many disagree, I don't want proof, lol.)

A bunch of sick m-fers bombarded the parents of that girl with emails containing those photos. The father is a real estate agent who depends on email for his livelihood. Some would even conceal the photos in an email that was cleverly devised to look as though it was from a prospective client or another real estate agent. I think a few of them are here on ATOT, judging by some of the comments.

And that website, celebrating gore with sexual references to the bodies of dead girls, surrounded by banners or adverts for porn sites. :roll:

I remember the ATOT thread regarding that car crash, many of the comments were pretty harsh.

Again, g'damn kids driving in a car with other kids is recipe for fucking disaster. Everybody wants to be the cool daredevil - they never got a chance to realize their teenage stupidity like most of us, and now they can enjoy each other's company forever.

Disallow it, unless there's an adult present.
 
man i never woulda guess that so many ATOT members were at the scene of the accident until i read this thread.

this thread also reminded me how boring/perfect 95% of ATOT apparently is.
