#8 A skier from the Les Powtos sports team fell down a deep glacier cliff in La Grave, France in April 2022. You see him barely wedge his skis into the cliff face moments from falling into the deep crevice. The off-piste skiing group were on hand with ice screws, axes and rope to pull him out to safety. They said 'it was the longest 20 minutes of our lives'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeDnigaLbfw
Looks like it might have gotten a little bit of the fabric of the hoodie, but not a true chomp. Looks like a North American / Eastern Racer which aren't venomous
The large blocky head and white areas of the snake in the video suggest rat snake, but I am not a professional snakeologist either. Black racers are more slender and like *really* smooth.
During the Whittier earthquake a bunch of panels very much like this detached from the skylight of the quad of the building I worked in. They kind of swooped from side to side as they fell. They came down from 3 stories up. We ran for our lives.
Something isn't adding up to me. how do the two guys grind on a rail that has a train on it? Pretty sure there's not space for both a train and a skateboard like that...
My cousin lost a leg making a video around running trains. He still had a successful wrapper career, but he's got a prosthetic and it wasn't a good time.
Yeah I’ve been on a subway someone jumped in front of. I didn’t see it happen, just the screeching halt and wait while they didn’t let anyone off. Not pleasant. This was in Japan before they changed the law and suicide by train was more frequent than it is today. We used to even have a “late” ticket from the station that said “suicide by train” as reason. They changed the law later so the persons’ family would be fined for every minute each train was delayed and the rate dropped significantly
I volunteer for the Samaritans and we sometimes have to go to train stations after a suicide there. Most train drivers involved in an incident like that never return to work and it can have a big lasting affect on random bystanders as well
Yeah nobody considers the trauma train conductors must experience when accidents happen. People, cars, animals, whatever — the train conductor has a front row seat to the horror of anything being on the tracks.
My first stint in a Vetrans psych ward, we had two train drivers in there with us, they had both been involved in suicide by train, neither were veterans, but there wasn't anywhere else they fit. Poor bastards were broken.
27 years hit 4 vehicles, killed 1 and seriously injured others. Hit a car once, on the front end, spun it like a top. Literally, knocked the pants off that guy.
I am surprised the first one didn't call it in so the next train would pass in a much slower speed, or/and send soneome to make them stop. (I have no idea how train system works in that country)
Why am I being downvoted, that is what traindrivers do in Norway. A fellow train student when practise driving called in when they saw someone lurking by the bushes. Train leader put out a slow speed at that station and called my fellow student back up to thank them for the warning. Turned out the dude had stepped out into the tracks and the driver managed to stop. We do that for children by the tracks too, this def qualifies.
We don't really have a way to tell time no. However, they could have passed on the next station. Here the light can turn green 40 ish seconds after the train has left a block. It could be days in between, or it could have been a few minutes. If the first train called it in, the train leader could have prevented any train from driving there until they're informed of the situation. All this depends on how this country's train system works, all countries are different.
Also if they did get hit, there are the emergency services who have far more to be getting on with than wiping fuckwit juice of the rails and telling the fuckwit's family about it. All in all, a most shitty thing to find fun.
Funny story, a buddy of mine used to be a conductor and he told me a story of how someone put in a call because a leg appeared to be by the tracks. After investigating it, it turned out to be a giant dildo.
Genuine question, would they really do an emergency stop for that? Seems like if something happened to the dipshit skateboarder(s), a stop couldn't possibly help.
I duno, in this specific case I doubt the engineer would even notice, since they weren't in front of the train. And if they saw people fucking around near the tracks they would probably call it in.
Nah. That's just a swamp puppy. Gators don't have much interest in something as large as a human, especially if they're well fed. And that one knows his handler. I wouldn't try this with a random one, but this has likely been going on since the gator was a baby.
I used to live near a swamp. We'd canoe and see them all over. They were never a problem. The only ones you had to worry about were the juveniles that would get under cars in new construction. They'd feel cornered if you approached and would snap. Game warden would have to come get them and take them further out.

There have been signs in the past about people trying to commit suicide by train because the long term effects are felt by the engineers.

Also it might kill someone. Although to be fair only the stupid ones.

You never know what happens if the train driver activates the emergency brakes. Might kill innocent people if they fall in the train.

That is a really good point. Who dicks about with a train? It's literally made of steel and is moving.

The tiger that mauled Roy of Siegfried and Roy was in the same situation. It just takes one mistake by the person or the gator and that hand is gone.

Not the same situation. The cats are abused. The gators aren't.
