She most likely had headphones in. Girl I went to school with got hit by a fucking freight train for the same reason. People don't think man
caleking
They thought pedestrians had the right away
AlackofPotassiumcankill
Missed her by that much-
misspoopsalot
This is in nz...
lukeshywalker
All stupid must die.
nursejr210
Looks like she missed her train...
mycatToastwasafatasshole
Maybe she didn't know whether she actually wanted to kill herself or not.
mikeatike
There is an old crossing near my work. I still look both ways even though I know the track has been converted to a footpath that I walk on.
Maevellous
.... that is an auckland transport train....
MyNamelsNobody
Or don't look and walk slower makes better YouTube videos
cleavernz
This is in my home, Auckland New Zealand. I used to take the train to work, 1 day they were all cancelled. A 14 yo hit with ipod in. So sad
svoka
it looks lika anime
Ansem571
Like, is this person blind, deaf, and stupid?
AntzInMyEyezJohnson
She almost earned that one

I hear the train a comin, oh wait no i don't.
OverpricedCrayon
I always look left and right even if it’s a one way street just in case someone played too much GTA that day

Thats NZ. New electric trains in Auckland are very quiet.
Mithi
But do they have cloaking devices?
ToadSage8
Why did girl cross the line ?
CromNsteel
We need more trains, for natural selection
Laneskydoodlethe2nd
Choo choo motherfucker!
Paranoimia
I never have sympathy when I see on the news about people getting hit at level crossings. Inevitably there's a campaign after to...
Paranoimia
"make level crossings safer." No we don't. We need to make people less stupid. Trains are big & loud; they don't exactly sneak up on people.

She probably couldn’t hear the train coming over the sound of the warning signals.
justadudewholovescats
I'm always scared of walking with earphones..not just you hear nothing but also lose concentration.
YewTube
Because wearing earbuds and playing music.
Zuul1974
she probably couldn't hear because of retardism
trailwanderer
that's what eyeballs are for. you know, looking both ways + seeing speeding trains.
Yakeshinu
Lol. Underrated comment of the day!
Omegarighteous
You joke but trains are super quiet that's what get a lot of people, not hearing them
mikeatike
Shit I've nearly run over people in my fucking SUV while revving the engine. People are oblivious.
StretchedButWhole
Yeah, I mean... pfft why would we have loud alarms on either side of the crossing to warn us of said quiet train? Thays just stupid...
TKRBrownstone
DING DING DING DING DING DING
TheBestRussian
I can hear that shit over loud music in my car. Like you have to be deaf AND blind not to see/hear them...
Ihatenumbersinusernames
They are pretty much inaudible when you are in front of them. If they are braking you can hear a sound from the rails, and brakepads.
RingSting
I've almost been hit by a Prius many times, fukkin silent pieces of shit.
nysouthpaw
The same Prius each time?
RingSting
Postie m8, many prius. =)
nysouthpaw
Many, many Prii

Auckland?
bricklips
Yep. I live right beside the station in mt eden and can confirm this is the one.
Raecracy123abc
Somewhere, where the first instinct is too look right not left first (and primarily)
ZOMGNO
OMG, how idiotic can she be? Yeah, definitely the AT symbol, thats Aux.
IMakeGifsLookGood
Yep. AT sign on train, spotted it too
DaWanga
Yep. http://i.stuff.co.nz/auckland/91338095/woman-has-near-miss-with-train-at-auckland-station
waxyaftertaste
Definitely an AT train
Whetu
Yep, Mt Eden I think.
MrSpankalot
Looking at that train and the way they note the date this looks like the Netherlands.
TheUprightDude
Nope definitely Auckland, thats an AT train. https://at.govt.nz/media/417600/Aucklands-new-electric-trains.jpg?width=1083
Kaoss01
What does the date have to do with Netherlands? Just curious...
bluemeaniesarecoming
Day, Month, Year. You know, the logical way. Not sure why they think only the nederlands does it like that.
nysouthpaw
Lots of Dutch in my experience think they're super special. Same goes for a few of the other little European nations.
Kaoss01
I thought maybe I was missing something because there wasn't anything special regarding the date...
Kaoss01
Yeah that's why I didn't understand... that's the format for Australia, new Zealand, the UK.... and most likely, heaps more...
LadyYmir
You don't need to look left or right when you cross. There's GIANT STICKS blocking your fucking way. DON'T FUCKING CROSS WHEN THEY'RE DOWN!
CrazyCatLad
In my old town there were but some lights. One time I noticed the train well before the lights came on (while driving).
mikeatike
Look anyhow in case the crossing isn't working.
Korstmos
Over here there are smaller crossings without those, just a few lights, both for pedestrians and cars
somenerandom
Also, an incoming train is not exactly stealthy.
ReadOnlyMemories
Depends how fast it is going really.. sometimes you do hear them later than you'd like to have time to get out of the way
SoPhoKingWong
What sticks??? There’s nothing in her way
stop66
chuuu chuuuuu imaginary sticks!!
TinyLiehon
It is true that in the sticks train passings don't have sticks
Waffleman77
I'm sorry to hear about your cramp
flamingflamingo
what the fuck, who writes comments like this
Waffleman77
You should be a bit more sensitive. He/She (I don't judge) may be self conscious about their cramps.
Spiralhaze
Someone who is replying to a user with the name PenisCramp, maybe?
misspoopsalot
No, not for pedestrians in New Zealand, where this is happening
Blrp0
What a retarded country.
bluemeaniesarecoming
What a fucking muppet you are. There are non-controlled crossings in pretty much every country in the world.
Blrp0
That is also retarded.
bluemeaniesarecoming
It's not feasible to have controlled gates or an overbridge at every pedestrian rail crossing.
misspoopsalot
What a fucking dipshit.
TKRBrownstone
The warning lights are blinking and everything....
VoidofLostKnowledge
Barrier however is up, that's not right friend.
TheGaryBuseyOf4nal
And, you know... it's a motherfucking train. Not exactly a stealthy vehicle.
MasterBlaster1983
Some people are just completely oblivious to their surroundings
bezuer
yes, but she is clearly the exception
induren
A professor at Rice University in Houston, TX was killed this way recently... Rice is one of the top schools on the planet. Death is fun.
nononotwhatyouthink
Oh lord, read that as Darwin and was nodding along for a bit.
Wellthatwasweird
Tarlon
And how could she not hear that?
GerberLegalTeam
Those lights are probably for something else. No worries.
BavarianGuy
But all the other times it came from the right.... That's how height reduced people are created o_O
WhitePrivilegedMan
Yes, the expert mode lights.
LuckyJynX
but they wr on her left...
ziccu
I am pretty sure trains are still noisy as heck also... but of course there are headphones, which means you should be even more careful
Ivain
the thing is that they're so fast, you only have a few seconds to react after you first hear them.
Ark161
People are kind of stupid like that...and it is only getting worse...
greasyactual
As a railroader, even when the lights aren't flashing, or the gates aren't down, please look both ways at rail crossings. Please.
Throwawayheyya
I grew up next to train tracks in a rural area so maybe not everyone heard this, but in drivers ed I was told: any time is train time.
greasyactual
Exactly.
Ivain
That implies your country has a faulty railway warning system? for us, the warning starts 1-2 mins before the train arrives
greasyactual
No, our system is very very safe. That being said, sometimes, shit happens. The safest thing to do is double check for trains regardless.1/2
greasyactual
.I've taken/heard way too many calls about collisions at crossings. Safety is out #1 priority and im just spreading awareness
JamesTaylor94
That’s in Australia, there are gates that close when the lights go off so you can’t die
SendYiff
Clearly...
complainsabouteverythingpmuch
Well she didn't die, did she? Nothing wrong here.
ProxyPlayerHD
same in Germany, even tho some people think they are faster than the pole comes down
Karasun
It's in Auckland. Auckland transport m8
skittootles
wellingtons is sooo much better lmao

skittootles
i want to downvote you because of your use of "dawg" but upvote you because of giving sauce and fact... life is hard
usersubbordercontrol
skittootles
i didn't downvote in the end i upvoted so \_(•.•)_/
Jovikvon
Last time I was in Auckland I guy called me dawg. Seemed appropriate
skittootles
i've lived my whole life in auckland and no ones ever called me dawg lmao but i respect that
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
About a month ago someone near where I live went under the warning arm and crossed the tracks without looking. They went splat.
DamianWinters
Darwin award, its better for the species.
fauxnews
A few days ago I was crossing the tracks and a train was coming up, I thought to myself "Do I have time to cross before the train?"
Yourimaginarygoblin
If you ever have to ask yourself that question you probly dont have enough time!
fauxnews
The train passing by the time I finished that thought answered that question.
Anonamus1
That has happened twice this month in Florida. People here don't understand train wins everytime
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
I've had it happen 3 times on my commute in the last 5 or so years. Sometimes its suicide, sometimes just not following the rules/warnings.
