Suicide now a company problem

Here are two videos of the same incident. Actually, both are showing the same footage. The first one shows a woman who raced a train and lost the race. She killed her children when she didn't stop and look both ways. Remember, trains have the right of way, and always have.

The second video shows the same information with a local television station input from some of the locals who are not bright enough to see that she tried to commit suicide and ended up killing her two daughters instead. The train tracks were there, probably decades before anyone in this video (including the driver of the van) were even conceived. So, instead of the driver being responsible for doing something that was absolutely dangerous, they blame the railroad because there were no gates. Remember, if she would have stopped and looked both ways, none of this would be an issue.

You judge for yourself. Who is to blame for the driver racing across the tracks and killing her children? We are not even saying anything about her racing down through the parking lot. She could have killed a child in her mad dash to beat the train. Where is the outrage about someone racing through a parking lot? She was doing what, 40 or 50 miles an hour in a parking lot? Get a grip here.

If you want to say something, say it about two innocent children who were killed by their mother. Blatantly, outright killed them. The railroad will probably (and rightly) prosecute her for this. Only because the community probably won't. They will probably say "she has suffered enough already". Well, I say no. She hasn't. Not to mention the train crews that she could have killed. I see it as attempted murder on her part for trying to kill the crews. You know that the crews will have to live with the heinous actions of that woman for the rest of their lives. Shoot, the van driver will probably try and sue the train crews because she pulled out in front of them.

Post all the comments you want. I will moderate them and allow all viewpoints.
