Powaqoatse posted:When a train blasts its horn, it carries. They were standing on one track taking a photo as the train went by on the other track. So the train that was right next to them drowned out the noise of the other train coming at them on the track they were standing on. So it was pretty stupid, but in their defense the light/halo was probably the first stimuli they had of the train that killed then. Then bam. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Outrail posted:They were standing on one track taking a photo as the train went by on the other track. So the train that was right next to them drowned out the noise of the other train coming at them on the track they were standing on. They have no defence. In the photo, the west bound train was at their back but since they were taking a selfie, they could still see it. That means the eastbound train was in their direct line of sight. They literally played chicken with a train. I get it selfies might be their focus but I refuse to believe that they, at some point in time, didn't see the train that was coming right at them on the same tracks they were standing on and decide that one more picture would be fine. Other train freude, my brother in law worked as a lawyer for a train company. People do all kinds of stupid poo poo to trains in a train yard. Mostly, perry vandalism, but one bright young drunken soul decided that climbing on top of a train in the middle of the night was the best thing to do. So she climbed over a fence, climbed on top of the train, and hosed around until the train started to move. Short story even shorter, she fell off but only got her arm cut off by the train when she landed. Life lesson right there.

Mak0rz posted:How can a dumbass just hang out on a railway like that? I legitimately don't understand it. Maybe I'm sheltered because there are no trains where I grew up but they don't exactly make their potential as mile-long, five thousand-ton meat grinders a secret. The same reason people underestimate how dangerous cars can be: they don't fully understand the danger or somehow assume they'll be smart enough/immune to it. Subway deaths are incredibly common in NYC for this very reason. Two recent deaths: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/f-train-fatally-strikes-subway-surfer-fell-brooklyn-tracks-article-1.2897447 http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/teen-killed-jump-moving-subway-train-brooklyn-article-1.2902542 EDIT: I feel bad for the second kid, even though it's a dumb thing to do.

I'm always morbidly curious if they still got the shot, and maybe in 100 years there will be a photo book full of failed selfies that all look like that one dude getting executed in Vietnam.

Powaqoatse posted:When a train blasts its horn, it carries. The speed of the train and the geometry of everything does actually make a surprisingly big difference. The point in time when you hear the train horn loudly is not very much time before it will be on top of you. A friend of mine who is a professor in psychoacoustics/audio engineering was called to run the math and testify as an expert witness in a trial where the family of someone who was killed by a train was suing the train company under the claim that the train operator didn't adequately sound the horn to notify the person on the tracks. I mostly just remember the takeaway from the conversation with my friend being that you really don't want to gently caress around on railroad tracks, because you have way less time than you think to get out of the way when you hear a train horn.

Man a full 2/3s of those were bikers riding serveral times the speed of the traffic they're passing by and nearly hitting people making normal maneuvers with appropriate warning. Hard to feel bad about that tbh. That's ignoring the ones who don't know the difference between lane-splitting and weaving through traffic. e: props to the guy at 8:45 though, heck of a save TheMaskedUgly has a new favorite as of 23:06 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Yeah the video is like I'd say 60% squids (idiots on supersports) riding way beyond a safe level, and 40% lovely Drivers Can Kill You Instantly If You Let Your Attention Wander. The guy at 1:40 for instance is a perfect example of why you stay to one side of the lane while stopped, rather than planting yourself in the middle. And there were four or five clips making super obvious why you always stay away from the centerline in a blind turn.

Slugnoid posted:Reminds me of the recent accident at Dreamworld where the ambulance officers called the victims injuries "incompatible with life"; the medical term for they got hosed up. Regalingualius posted:I remember some story about an EMT goon dealing with a dispatcher who got really anal-retentive about using that phrase until they retorted with something to the effect of "his head is in a different room than the rest of his body". So as paramedics, we're not allowed to call a patient "dead" or establish a time of death. We have to write our reports with terms like, "signs incompatible with life" or something similar because we're not doctors.

I'm confused as to how an EMT can't be trained to identify a dead person. I mean yeah, doctors have almost a decade of experience, but come on.
