Do not play with trains.
« on: March 28, 2008, 03:54:25 PM »
I've said it before and it probably wont be the last time:

YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY STUPID TO GET RUN OVER BY A TRAIN

Train hits woman trapped on line

The telling part, while the barriers were down.

Reading between the lines that must have been an awful experience for the two blokes trying to help her.  cry:

Essex???? She would have been in sling backs, how hard would that be to take her foot out of? Prolly didn't want to put down her matching white handbag to unbuckle the ankle strap.

I agree that it would have been a horrendous experience for her companions but I have to ask how stupid (or come to think of it, pissed) do you have to be do try and cross when the barriers are down?

It reports she got her foot stuck in wooden slats. If the crossing is the same design as my local crossing then she wasn't even on the crossing but off at one edge.

I can see that emptying her handbag between the rails would take about five hours to recover…  whistle:
