Re: Old Banned From TV: Mary Wojtyla (Traingirl) Killed by A Train in Illinois
That's the bit I didn't get when I watched it yesterday... The woman she's with just like turns round and starts wandering off and I'm thinking "did she make the kid get run over on purpose coz she was sick of her or something?!". Totally weird...

Re: Old Banned From TV: Mary Wojtyla (Traingirl) Killed by A Train in Illinois
At around 5:53 p.m. on August 26, 1991, Mary T. Wojtyla, 41, of Chicago, was walking with her lawyer across the tracks at the Fairview Avenue grade crossing in Downers Grove, directly in front of a westbound train which was stopped at the Metra station. Apparently distracted by ongoing divorce proceedings, she crossed the center track and was struck by a westbound Burlington Northern EMD E9 pulling a express train, estimated to be traveling at 60 miles per hour. Wojtyla was killed instantly; her lawyer saw the oncoming train and was not struck. The accident delayed between 12,000 and 15,000 commuters on the Burlington Northern line for more than an hour. Trains were further delayed when Downers Grove police ordered the engineer to back up the train in order to re-enact the incident. According to an account in the Downers Grove Reporter, "the engineer was so seriously affected by the re-enactment, where he had to pass by the dead body still on the tracks, he was unable to continue and had to be relieved of his duties." A railfan captured Wojtyla being struck by the train.The video, dubbed "Traingirl", has been shown with the impact edited out at many Operation Lifesaver events, and unedited on shock site web sites and YouTube. A wrongful death lawsuit brought by Wojtyla's estate was dismissed in 1996. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metra |

Looks as though the girl next to the child provoked it, and the child kept going apparantly not intelligent enough to realize there was no way she was going to pass up the train. I dont see why the lady in the beggining didnt try to stop them, either way, its childhood horseplay gone wrong.
