Cell Phone Blamed for Train Death

maybe it was a plot to committ suicide and that was all maybe he was smart and now somebody gets a check mmmmmmmmmmmmm and nilla what are GUARDING RAILS ,DUH do you need GUARDING RAILS to stop you from walking in front of traffic duh duh duh

I think Chris hit the nail right on the head..... "Darwinism at its finest" Brilliant

PEOPLE WHO ARE THAT STUPIDE DEESERVE WHAT THAY GET I LIVE I VEGAS AND CELL PHONSE AND DRIVING DON'T MIX LIKE THE SAY U CAN'T FIX STUPIDE

How could he not hear the train because trains are really loud. He must have been paying to much attention to his Cell phone

The fact that people unfortunately lose their lives crossing train tracks is due to their lack of awareness of the dangers involved. I think too many of these victims are just not smart enough to be alert. Why they are not ALERT while crossing train tracks is either just plain stupidity or just don't care of the dangers surrounding them.

Umm, excuse me, Nilla, but where is Your Responsibility to take care of Your Self and Pay Attention ???????

""Nilla says:
It was not the only the cell phones fault. First of all there should be a blocking at every train crossing, to make sure no one is able to even set foot that close to the train!!! And that's that! People should not be able to accidentally walk on the tracks. Where are the guarding rails when you need them?11/20/07 2:13 PM""

The gene pool got a little deeper that day. He can't father kids now

Ok listen, there shouldd haave been gaurd rails because it could have been a child! I mean what if aaa young child was simply not paying attention a walked onto the tracks. What if it was your child.

Some people are challenged doing 2 things at once, whether it is talking and walking, driving and talking, having passengers in a car, driving and adjusting any controls, radio, heat etc. A cell phone is just one additional distraction for those people. Like it or not, we are ALL one of those people at some point. Most of us think we multitask well, I doubt everyone will agree with us. Let's be honest and not criticize so much. Legislation and all the laws in the world would not prevent such a tragedy.

I am an American I will call whoever a Dumbass, Stupidshit,Moron, Shithead, Idiot, or anything else I want to. Did you ever think that it might be you they run into? Or your son or daughter, while texting talking or making that phone call while driving instead of watching the road? Helloooo!!!!!!!

I think all of you who repied forgot there was a life lost and a family grieving you should be ashamed of yourselves. my condolences to the family and friends of this person.

Shouldn't have been crossing the tracks in the first place when a train is coming.

cell phones are a great thing but people forget about comman curtsy when using them ,its very rude to be screaming into your phone in public and hearing a 2 way conversation is worse ,i saw a woman crossing the street and never even looked to see if any cars were coming and almost got hit and had the nerve to cuss out the driverwho had the light . cell phones should be put away when in most public places unless its an emergency not for all the stupid chit chat

You mean to tell me that NONE of you talk on your cell phone while driving or walking? I bet you even talk on your cell phone when you are eating in restaurants.

Somebody needs to give Nilla a cell phone and directions to the train station

The same thing happened in my community last winter. A 22 year old guy had his hood up waiting for a train to pass and stepped into the path of another train. NO CELL PHONES INVOLVED PEOPLE. Just another tragic accident from not being careful enough. So get off your high horses about cell phones. People cause accidents, not cell phones or even trains.

I do not understand how he did not hear or see the train. Where is the common sense. First, you need to look both ways before crossing a railroad track and street. He wasn't taught safety rules.

Hope, that's a huge generalization. I'm an American, an American TEENAGER no less, and my life doesn't revolve around my cell phone, ipod, or any electronic device. It's that materialistic 5% that draws the bad press and the "American Stereotype." Just my American opinion.

this guy was a real idiot, nd his stupidity caused hime to die

PEOPLE JUST DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK WHEN THAY ARE ON THE PHONE WHEN CROSSING RAILRODE CROSSINGS.
