Another truck train crash

Then there's the, "gee, I thought the engineer would stop the train if he saw me on the tracks" mentality.... Yeah, he did stop, about a half-mile from the impact.

Yeah,. . . . "he did stop". after - sliding about a half-mile, after - impacting the truck !!!!. And that's not counting the distance the train slid BEFORE impact !!

The news reports always seem to blame the train ! We just recently had a train/truck collision here in the Chicago area, where a METRA train hit the trailer of a truck stopped at an intersection ! Really ?????
There was a School Bus full of kids that was hit the same way, several year ago !
Go ahead, - - - put yourself in harm's way,----- and "Harm" will have its way with you.
Always...THINK, before you ACT.
Maybe - There's only enough "intelligence" in the world for only HALF the Human population !

I do have one question...How many Model Railroaders have ever been responsible for a prototype vehicle/train collision ?
I strongly suspect that the answer is ZERO.
