    I have no idea what you're on about because you couldn't be bothered to
    quote, and it was probably years ago, but a collision and death that results from putting one's self in harm's way isn't an accident.

    All you're concerned about is not calling someone stupid who
    deliberately put himself in harm's way? How does that save anyone's life
    in future?

    Maybe there's a lesson to be learned from all this death but it whooshed
    right over your head.

    If it was still when Conrail was Conrail, it sure was a long time ago.

    A little googlage says it was this event in 1997, 23 years ago:

    https://www.newspapers.com/clip/16776016/a-wake-up-call/

    Apparently kids sunbathed and dove into the canal from the bridge.
    They weren't deliberately playing chicken with the train, but they
    seriously underestimated how long it would take to get out of the way
    when they heard a train coming.
