navygz19 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Not sure what the attraction is with being piss drunk in a car/4-wheeling/driving where you feel like it. BTW...I think it used to be an X :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 thats what i was thinking it was as well...is it darwinim...only the strongest survive...well idiots need to be considered weak... he could have quite possibly missed the turn...b/c right there its a very sharp curve and theres a road on 1 side of all those big concrete blocks and the RR tracks are on the other side and that road runs up to behind the abc store and a gas station so he might have just gone straight on the tracks and never even turned... some1 needs to go the hospital and put a boot in his ass... if i ever did something like that i would have stood back watched ran like hell got a friend to take me home and report it stolen in the am (not that thats any better) but i sure as hell aint gonna sit in my truck while a train is coming...

In the train world we see it all the time. BTW, the school bus was OK, it was a gated and lighted crossing (unless there is a law there that school buses must stop at ALL railway crossings).

unccpathfinder Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 (unless there is a law there that school buses must stop at ALL railway crossings). i believe if im not mistaken in NC they have to stop for all tracks (i've even been on shuttle busses that did the same...maybe that was just them being cautious...
