As posted by RgrF, guy was pulled out seconds before impact:

Sorry about a separate thread, but I don’t think most (like me) realized how close it was.

Best comment: "in case you thought you had a bad day."


Haha

I didn't.

Thank you for the link.

From the first one, I thought the only danger might have been anybody hit by debris from the impact, and that the guy had been removed earlier.

Around here those trains move at about 79mph.

I am that Masked Man.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Those cops certainly earned their pay.

And the train dispatcher or someone within the chain of command should lose their jobs. According to the thread, the sergeant had called the emergency number and alerted Metrolink (the train operator). And yet the train still went through at full speed.

I suggest you study the physics of braking steel wheels on steel rails with a cof approaching zero.
