@benroyce These Brightline trains in Florida have killed so many people due to inadequate crossings:

It's very fortunate that the train didn't derail. Hopefully it didn't cause disturbances to the passengers.

@fruitcakesareyum

that's a valid concern if it was a car or larger. i don't think it's a problem for something this size. indeed the passengers probably heard a noise and felt some bumps

@benroyce I was on the train today and heard a big thud. Now I'm wondering if that was someone's lunch too.

@fruitcakesareyum @benroyce Train looks to have made a full stop, so whoever was in it definitely got adversely affected. Hope they fine the hell out of whoever's operating that delivery garbage

@benroyce Oof, that poor train!

@benroyce Hey @theoriginaljoefisher this reminds me of a story set in Pasadena… (and listen to the end of the clip!)

@brianvastag @benroyce In the same time these trains killed ~200 people in Florida, cars killed over 30 thousand people. Which "newspaper" printed all their names?

@benroyce HUMILIATION

TRAIN. WINS.

@benroyce maybe funny if you don't care about the environment. What a waste...

10 years ago i would laugh

now i hear your words in grim foreboding

[brianvastag@mas.to]

@tkissing Did you read the story? The train deaths could have been prevented by upgrading the crossings.
