Man injured after train runs over legs

Authorities say an upstate New York man lost part of a lower leg and suffered serious injuries to the other when he was run over by a freight train.

I'm trying to determine why he was onthe tracks too. He may have been drunk.

[Cfoote]

Yes,, kinda makes you wonder what he was thinking? Hmmm,, this looks like a nice comfy place to lay down????

[Cfoote]

Gee.. why was I rated mean? I mean logic dictates that a sensible person would not be by railroad tracks lying across them like he was. I think MissThang and I have legit quetions that no one has answered

[MissThang]

Me too C, the news didn't explain anything, but now I have found out that he was drunk, just as we thought, BUT even if he was drunk, does it make sense that he would think a train track is a nice place to lay down, maybe he fell or something.....

He probably passed out.
If he was indeed drunk,that's more than likely why he was laying on the tracks.Why else would any normal person be laying on railroad tracks?

People do crazy things when it comes to alcohol. It's a helluva drug.

See now my questions have been answered. I wasn't being mean spirited, I just wanted to know. My logical mind works that way

They sure do! Thats seems to be the only logical explanation..........

He should have stayed on the tracks a little longer

And this drug darn near shortened his life!

[MissThang]

It's a terrible thing, imagine waking up and your legs are gone....I feel bad for the guy. If he was THAT drunk, maybe someone should have made sure this man got home safe.

[JCV1]

Hes a grown man and if he cant get himself home safely then maybe he shouldn't be out of his home. I know who this person is and my only thought is that hopefully losing his feet will make him a better person. He definately deserved it.

What do you mean "he definitely deserved it"? Why?
And was he really on drugs or drunk?
Could he have wanted to commit suicide?
It is sad that a healthy man would want to do this to himself. How will he go on now. If he was depressed then, how much more depressed will he be now? Just a very bad idea to this...
Who's got the answers here? Obviously the news has got nothing but a few dumb dumb facts. Man laying on tracks gets hurt...
TELL US MORE!

[JCV1]

The guy has Kids at home and he is more worried about being out on the town drunk and laying on railroad tracks, probably just so he can tell his friends that he did it, than he is worried about being home taking care of and spending time with his kids. now maybe with no feet he will at least stay home and spend time with his family.

i think he has body intergity identity disorder.... its were they want to amputate their own limbs because they feel that they their body is not whole. kind of like a transexual but they want to cut off their limbs.
