I tell you, anyone that tried to beat the train and risk their deserves to die if they get hit by the train. I just don't see any reason why one would be so stupid.

I wonder if this video is authentic. Regardless, there are fatalities every year by people doing this exact same thing. There are plenty of Darwin candidates out there.

I hope the driver saw death look him straight in the eyes.

He gave it gas only when the train was 2 seconds from hitting him so he didn't even look to see if there was a train approaching. The only reason I'm glad he survived this is so that he can live the rest of his life knowing he's the worlds biggest idiot.

Unfortunately,, I see stupid acts like this EVERY DAY in person and have to wonder as to the mentality of some of these people. This type of attitude is not only prevalent with cars but big trucks as well. You just haven't lived until you have seen a train DEMOLISH a tractor trailer like it never even existed. Saw it once,,,NEVER want to see it again unles on TV.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Idiots shouldn't drive.
