Darwin Award nominees and their pretty pictures

First, you should take a look at the unfortunate results when an overheating coal train stops for repairs on a wooden bridge.

My question is for that guy in the yellow pants, and everyone else nearby (including the guy behind the camera whose photos we saw). Okay, so you’ve got a train on a burning bridge. Don’t see that every day. Worth stopping and taking a look.

And then thinking, “hey, that’s a freight train. Freight. As in ‘unknown cargo’. There are some cargos that explode. Others that are toxic when burning. Maybe my life is worth more than a few minutes of interesting DV.”

Of course, maybe it’s not. Up to you to decide. But I suspect it didn’t quite get so far as a conscious thought process, there.
