Why you don't climb trains.


If it was here, the train crew or the railroad police would have gotten the guy down, after they had deenergized the overhead. People regularly ride on the roofs of passenger and freight cars in India and a guy like the one killed is a "puller". He gets up on the roof first and pulls you up for the equivalent of a few cents. He was probably soliciting more business when he reached up and touched the overhead. Things like this happen every day in India, Pakistan, and large parts of Southeast Asia. It's just part of surviving and no one ever gets sued for anything.
 
Holy Lord!
Even KFC couldn't make 'em that crispy...
You'd think he be paying attention to the wires...sheesh.

If it were not fer the laws, cop's, and the fear of going to the county lock up and being placed with Bubba.... the same thing would be happening here!
Some People are stupid no matter where their from!!!:rolleyes:
 
Well, Jeff, they surely can't fix that guy's case of STUPID at this point. I may have to agree that it does look like a case of suicide. It looks as though he intentionally reached over and grabbed the wire. But, we'll never know now. Surely, he knew that the wire sould "bite". Wouldn't ya think?
