Just when you thought you had seen everything on You Tube, you find another.
This time it is videos of trains running down anything other than people (at least so far*) that do not get off the tracks quickly enough or at all! One can only hope that these videos are being taken by a cab cam and not some blood thirsty sadistic engineer. Brake nothing, full speed ahead! Broken barbecued ribs tonight. Yummy.
So far the videos from the appearance of the folks you see in the video are all from third world countries, or rural areas of non third world countries.
Whatever algorithm which decided that I should be presented with this type of content is not to be trusted.
*Late breaking news. Person taking a selfie hit on the head/shoulders area by the grab bar of a passing train. 11M views. Concussion protocols to be followed?
Mandatory stupidity training advised.

Reminds me of a post I put up earlier about the Ashland, Virginia rail cam. In that post, I pointed out there were kids dressed up for prom walking on the rails; taking selfies while standing between both tracks (Darwin award for doing that while wearing high heels); the whole bunch facing the opposite direction of an oncoming train; more selfies while walking up and down the tracks...no sense of self preservation.

I saw the same here, young ones running and standing near the train tracks taking pictures when the Amtrak police and local police came around to chase them away. I saw more then one young girl coming off the tracks in those tight gowns where they could hardly walk and the guys not helping them. Good thing nothing was coming by at the time. Some parents who were there were totally clueless what the kids were doing could have been tragic!!
Where we that dumb at that age, thinking back on it. yea I think so.

I did some pretty stupid stuff when I was young especially when it involved a girl. Driving at 16 wasn't much better.
