Oh the irony

So they went to the site of a deadly train crash hoping to hear screeching brakes and screams from a ghost train and got run over by a real train laying on it’s brakes while they ran away, likely screaming. There may not be a god but irony is alive and well in this country. :slight_smile:

Only 1 kid died and he pushed a girl to safety. Reminds me of the guy who pushed his daughter out of the way of that truck race. :frowning:

How do you not hear a train coming?

Because people are morons?

that sucks.

High Definition Ghosts

Haha.

From the looks of it they were on a bridge with nowhere to go, and they weren’t as fast as the train. Still not a smart place to be when you don’t know the train schedule.

Well, they were there hoping to hear the ghost train. It makes you wonder how long they stood there on the bridge all excited they were hearing the ghost train before they realized it was a real train coming.

“ooo honey, the ghost train…i can hear it. fuck”

Rule #1 of Ghost Hunting…know when to run

Fawk. There is definitely room to hug the edge of the bridge and not get hit…
