damn... i thought i was just they were after some one... :(

[l8braker]

from CFCN.ca:


The man was hit in the head by the train and pronounced dead at the scene.


Christ, imagine cleaning that shit up.

[bspot]

Suicide? I know Montreal has a special crew for cleaning up all the train jumpers there. What a brutal way to go, the guys driving the trains usually get pretty screwed up after hitting someone, not to mention the cleanup crews having to pick all the pieces up.

Man Killed by C-Train

June 20, 2007 - 6:00 am




A man is dead after being struck by a C-Train in the nortwest.

The train was just pulling into the station when the driver saw the head and shoulders of the man protruding from under the overhang of the platform.

Unfortunately, the driver was unable to stop in time and the front left corner of the lead car of the train struck the man.

The train continued on for about 30 meters before it was able to completely stop.

EMS pronounced the man deceased at the scene.

Police say that alcohol may be a factor.


from 660news.com

sounds more like a homeless guy who was taking shelter?

damn, getting hit in the head by a train probably didn't look too nice. must've been head and brains everywhere. can't imagine what it smelled like for the people getting on and off the train.

[jay42w8]

well technically he wouldn't have died from the hit of the train...cuz the train doesn't go fast enough for that....he'd have to have gotten hit first, then stuck and his head crushed between the train and something else like the ledge :barf:

am I the only one that never stands with anyone behind them when they wait for the train, like maybe as the train is going by someone either accidentally or intentionally pushes you into the train and u get caught and squished....what a horrible way to die...hope that dude was drunk out of his mind at least

I think this actually happened in Edmonton. Some homeless crazy pushed a woman in front of the train..

By the way, 80 km/h is fast enough...although coming into a station it's more like 50 km/h. If the head wasn't split by the wheels, it likely received blunt-force trauma from those safety bars on the outside edge of the wheel sets.

[jay42w8]

yeah call me paranoid, I HATE it when people run behind you...you never know what they're up to....like Dwight Shrute says "70% of all attacks happen from behind" :rofl:

Being a railroader, I can honestly say that cows, from a side impact, bounce off to the side at 50MPH, and Explode at 55MPH...

Horses fly sideways and can take out trees.

Oh yeah, and don't fuck with trains. we're bigger and you can't stop us. Plus we get a couple days off to deal with watching people get torn to pieces in front of us and it hurts our earnings.....

Back about 2 years ago, I was waiting in downtown a a c-train stop, and there was a guy standing right beside me, with us waiting for the train. And as soon as the train came he jumped right in front of it, got dragged under it for few meters, blood everywhere, people screaming everywhere. I am just standing there with my jaw dropped, like wtf happened!

The worst part is that the guy didn't even die right away, he was stuck under the wheels and he was still moving.

His body parts were like still shaking while being stuck under the wheels. Massive blood trail behind him. It was a pretty scary thing to witness, I won't lie.

It was right during the rush hour as well, all the women were like screaming everywhere.

There would be no significant smell from the patients injury until something started rotting.

^^OK!!!! Now that's just wrong buddy. Some sorta warning would have been handy.

Anyways, is that actual pic of the accident that happened or is it just a random pic?

Random pic most likely. I can't think that Calgary Police/Fire/EMS would ever release scene pictures.
