lol... now they need to investigate this accident... I wish I had that job...

Hell.. I'll do the job for them:

dumbasses stop on rail road tracks
Train can't stop on a dime
Train hits dumbasses that stopped on the railroad tracks

now how to fix this?

well... the logical answer would be to NOT stop on train tracks... but that'd take common sense..

So instead people want a rather expensive tunnel to be built lol!

I wonder how many lawsuits will arise from this? ("I stopped on the tracks but the Train should have stopped!!!!")

My roommate took the train before it - if he would have changed his plans to go to a concert (that was canceled) he would have been on that train.  Crazy shit.

There's a reason why those gates are made of BALSA wood: DRIVE THROUGH THEM.  People == idiots

it is my understanding that the people in the cars trapped on the tracks were in a line of cars... not smart to stop on the tracks, but still they couldnt go foward for the other cars in front of them.....

yeah they reconstructed it yesterday..

From what I heard they have the accident on tape since the stoplight nearby has homeland security cameras. They used it to clear the train driver, because it showed the cars stopped on the tracks during stop and go traffic, then got the light..

Now there is a cop sitting by the tracks watching the idiots... they still stop on the tracks or fly across them and try and beat the gates...
