Hey all....

Just saw this clip on CNN.com

One of our own, sadly didn't make it.

Flipside909....

Did you even watch the video?

Your telling me that video of a GS does not belong in the GS section, but
yet a thread about "GS for chicks" does?

Your misguilded

He should have left her in there.....one less idiot to destroy a perfectly nice car.....WTF would you stop and just sit in your car on the railroad tracks? (*W in the WTF stands for Why in this case).

Lucky her. I'm still unsure about the story since I've only watched the video, but at least no one got hurt. Trains are deadly. Even the safest car (even a humvee) are no match when going head to head with a train.
