There's no excuse for this kind of accident with the length of crossing warning time. I guess waiting a minute is too much for some, or they value life that little.

No hint of that in the article, which isn't even sure if 2 women or 1 man + 1 woman got struck.

So I say nope.

I've reading non-train-related articles on how people in modern society behave. We get TO members who get angry at my "sociological" posts, so I'll keep it short. People might value their lives, but they don't have the mental tools to actually protect their precious lives.

"Reports from Citizen.com said the train was upright "

How could a 70 ton train car flipover by hitting two 150 lb humans ?

Point taken, however, the news media I'm sure is covering their bases in case someone was concerned about the train status and if anyone was injured on the train.

Citizen and app website has nothing to do with any news media. It is a website for citizen's to report something.
