Teenager dies 'playing' on hi-speed track out of Paddington

: Who said he deserved to die? Several posters. Who said that simply being on or about a railway line meant certain death? It seems to be implicit in a number of posts, in this thread and many others, in uk.railway, at least. He didn't die because he was on a railway line. He died because he was stupid enough to get hit by a fast moving train. You say stupidity, I say misjudgement. Your version would imply that any accidental death is because of the stupidity of the victim. Trains Don't Take Prisoners! Pity. Could be a growing source of traffic. Rick. |

So how do you describe someone who puts himself in the path of a heavy, fast moving vehicle that takes almost a mile to stop and can't swerve aside to avoid him? Trains Don't Take Prisoners! Pity. Could be a growing source of traffic. OldLag-Rail anyone? :-) |
