Tragedy

Two 14 year old girls were killed by a train on a level crossing last night.  Made me cry when I heard it.  Just before Christmas.

Perhaps we can all say a prayer for them and their families.  If you're not religious then spare a thought.

This story sent shivers of horror down my spine as I have a train pobia. It appears they ignored warning lights and a loud horn telling them a train was approaching because they thought it applied to the stationary train that they were running to catch which was standing at the opposite platform .

Of course i feel deeply for them and their families. What a truly horrific thing to have happened. I also feel very sorry for the train driver and those who had to deal with the accident afterwards.

Trains are very loud. Warning lights and klaxons were sounding. I find it hard to believe that someone did not notice a train coming. Very scary. I do feel terribly for the parents of the girls - i know how i would feel if i lost my little girl
