Seriously, who in their right mind would decide to take a nap on a set of train tracks? I know I wouldn't, but then again I AM in my right mind. Today, a man was killed by falling asleep on some train tracks and getting hit by a train. Gee, a train barreling down some tracks... such a suprise!

Now, I am not saying that this is not a sad event, because it is. But people, get some sleep! There is no reason to NOT get enough sleep. If your sleep is suffering to the point where you are having issues staying awake while driving then get some help! Somehow!

Now, here is the interesting bit, at least to me. Everyone who owns a car knows that unless your foot is on the brake its gonna move forward, even at a slow pace (idling). So, in order for this car to fully stop on the tracks the man would have had to literally take his foot off the gas. For all we know, he might have wanted to suicide. Who knows?

Hopefully more information will become available soon regarding this strange and horrible event.
