noise canceling headphones so good that you'll die for them

Notices the train, starts running towards it. Must have known when it would be there and planned to do this. Even if he was high, it might have just been to psych himself up for getting hit by a train.

He should have gone to India where they have this perfected.

I don't think he wanted to die, looks more like he wanted the adrenaline of 'that just missed me' because he got three quarters of the way across it.
But fuck knows what goes on in other people's heads.

“…his cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma…”

No shit.

“…his manner of death is pending…”

Stupidity. Therefore, natural.

2330 hrs, Wednesday night... to me that just spells alcohol. Well, M.O.O.N. really spells alcohol but I'll let that slide for the moment...

[Gone crazy back soon]

Trains are so sneaky too bad there is not a way to track where they might be traveling. Oh wait right..

“Train approaching… must pick up speed” : his final thought.

He saw the lights and probably heard the train too… looks like he either wanted to get hit or like someone said wanted a near miss for kicks

I read that the dude almost survived? He’s lucky - he’d be shitting in a bag the rest of his life.

 

[Morally-Skewed-Hippo]

He'd have made it across in time...... if he had more training.

 

[Ultradeadlyshawty]

I admire his courage enough to pass that train tho still I'm disappointed he didn't think

 

[Harumph]

He'd have made it across in time...... if he had more training.

At least he was on the right track!

I can drink to that..

 

[Mr-Smokey]

Why do they always run towards danger then away from it ?

 

[lovestruck]

It appears that he did not know the train was coming until the last moment, that's when his instinct kicked in to run but in the wrong direction.
