Re: Should've Looked Right

I'll never understand how people get hit by trains like this? Is there such thing as selective blindness/hearing that prohibits people from seeing and hearing a fucking train? Scientists should look into this

The fact that you’re aware that something like this could happen to you indicates that it’s not likely to.

Being “headphoned and oblivious” is not what does a person in. It’s thinking that the rest of the world starts, stops, and revolves around them that turns them into ketchup smears.

That train didn’t kill them. Their narcissism did.

Nothing will ever beat the eeriness of the infamous "Train Girl" video but this was pretty cool

Some trains would NEVER get up to speed then, they take awhile to speed up and slow down.

Re: Should've Looked Right

Person could have been high as hell or completely dead ass drunk. That could explain why they didnt realize the train was coming. You never know
