MichaelShaffer Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Apparently, these idiots tied their daughter to the bumper of their Jeep as they rode around the dunes. Then they got stuck on the railroad tracks and couldn't get her off in time. http://www.quadscentral.com/videos/trainhitsjeep.WMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruinsrme Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Freaking idiots, should be tried for murder. It is too bad they can't be put away for being just plain stupid and a threat to normal people. From the web page Glamis Jeep VS Train HERE IS THE STORY: I was waiting to meet a buddy at wash 10. and this monster of a jeep goes up the hill and crosses the tracks. A stock jeep follows and almost doesn't make it. THEN everyone can clearly see that a train is coming so the guy in the stock jeep wants to get back on the other side of the tracks before it gets here ..... STUPID. Not to mention that he has his whole family in the jeep with him and his daughter riding on the front bumper seat belted to it. Of course he doesn't make it over and then gets stuck. While the guy is trying to get the jeep unstuck other guys try to get the little girl off the bumper. If you pause the video at the beginning you can see this, if you pause it at the end you can see the little girl still belted to the front bumper : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I dunno... this is the first I have ever heard of this tragidy... If this were a true story, you would think that it would have made national news. Well, if it happen here in the states anyway. I would like to see the authenticity of this.

m00n Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Funny? If the story is true, there is nothing funny about it. Apparently a little girl was killed. See... if this was real, I guarantee NOBODY would be just standing around while that little girl was laying there, they would be helping her out... No way, this is a fake. Sorry, I just don't buy it.

Basshole Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I think its a fake also..you dont even hear a crash sound when it "supposidly" hits the jeep plus i dont think the jeep would of looked that good after being hit by a train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Between Trains horn and the train itself along with the camera being on the opposite side of the crash it would be unlikely that the camera would have picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grateful11 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 That's a bunch of crap! I work for Norfolk-Southern RR and have seen many accidents, actual and video. There appears to be little if any damage to the Jeep. H*ll the left front tire isn't even flat. In the first scene the front end appears to be hanging over on rail. I'm not sure but I believe there could be two sets of mainline track there but from the camera angle it's hard to tell. There is no impact sound and no dust cloud coming up from where the Jeep was sitting. There was no activation of the emergancy brakes either. It would only take about 6 or 8 guys to turn the Jeep over and make it look as if the train flipped it. They probably waited until a train stopped in that area before playing out the scene. I've seen video of 18 wheelers getting hit in the cab by a train moving less than 10mph and before the train could stop it was almost destroyed. Those older Jeeps are tough. You can turn one over and right it without hurting it. My brother rolled his down a huge embankment in the snow about 30 years ago and a wrecker pulled him out. He said let it set for 15 mins crank it up and drive it home. Grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeptic Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 IF the person was dead, people wouldn't be walking around, and filming it. Also, if someone posted a video of a dead person on the net...yeah... ---------------- There are a lot of videos posted to the net of dead people. The most famous of these, is probably the Budd Dwyer suicide. He killed himself with televsion cameras rolling, so there is film of his actual death. Pretty sick stuff. But, just proves the point there are tons of videos of actual people being killed for sick individuals available easily on the internet.

MichaelShaffer Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 I heard that thing on the front bumper could be a doll, but it wouldn't suprise me if it's real. I've seen much worse on rotten.com and other sites including a little girl getting hit by a train and bouncing off the cattle guard like it was nothing.
