Yes, a train will do that.

Johnny Cash: "I hear the train a comin', its comin' round the bend"....only he was blasting it so loud in his brain...he didn't.

I wish I could feel sorry for him, but I just dont.

[THIS IS NOT BREAKING NEWS]

This was a suicide unless he can't feel. The vibration of an approaching train would have warned him. Also why was he on the tracks in the first place

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES

Ah ha ! This is proof that rap music is dangerous to your health.

[really concerned citizen]

Sucide, that's all that was.

[Brevard]

have to be tough when you`re stupid.

[Biff Lowe]

Ya can't fix stupid so rest in peace there Darwin Theory guy.

Not quite an accurate headline; he didn't die because he didn't hear the train, he died because he was on the train tracks. After all, those trains don't just leap off the tracks and attack people. "This is not breaking news," you know, I was also wondering if perhaps this was a suicide and he didn't want to hear the train that hit him? The person I really feel sorry for in this incident is the train engineer; sounds like he tried so hard to warn the man and was unable to do anything more than that. Trains can't "stop on a dime," even when they're going slow.

Sounds like a suicide to me also; he would have felt the vibrations in the rails.

Darnit, if you're going to off yourself, could you not involve other people?! That poor engineer is going to feel awful for his whole life.

[It Is What It Is]

He got what he deserved.
