Re: Train Cuts Man Completely in Half
Looks pretty much like a lot of railway fatalities. Many times there is hardly any blood at the scene at all. The reason for this is due to the weight of the locomotives and the rail cars, extremely heavy. One everyday locomotive tops the scale around 350,000 pounds. The reason for the lack of blood, is that the wheels mash close arteries and veins so the tend not to be very bloody, for the most part. Now some that basically have a body rupture, there will be a lot of crap everywhere. The locomotives and rail cars, actually only come in contact on the top of the rails for a space that is smaller than a US dime. Less than a dime contact surface, with millions and millions of pounds for even a short train. I probably investigated about 70 railway deaths, before I retired.Cabriolet. |

Re: Train Cuts Man Completely in Half
hmm...not exactly half i'd say more 25/75  but about the blood...when their dead laying on the track there is no blood (or very little) partly due to the immence pressure on the blood vessels that just destroys them and the friction between the wheel and the track cauterizes the wound  Edit:Just noticed the earlier post that basically described exactly what i just said xDD |

Re: Train Cuts Man Completely in Half
Exactly... One of the very first fatalities that I came in contact with, was a 8yr old boy, that was separated right at the belly-button. Maybe one or two drops of blood to be found from that, but he did hit his chin and it had a small cut that bled more that the dismemberment site. |
