Don't Run The Risk - Radio Advert #1

イギリスって鉄道事故多いよね･･･

[TOURNEOMAN]

How did this train de-rail?

[formidable38]

@TOURNEOMAN A selfish bastard decided that he wanted to end his life so he chose to park his car on a rail crossing. The train hit it at 90mph. IIRC, a dozern or so people died including the trains driver Mr Stan Martin after his cab was filled with track ballast, scooped up as it slid on its side.

[WESTMIDLANDSGIRL2K11]

@formidable38 Suicide isn't selfish selfish anyway and anybody who thinks it is make me more sick than anything

[formidable38]

@WESTMIDLANDSGIRL2K11 IT IS FUCKIN SELFISH WHEN YOU TAKE DOWN 5 OTHER INOCENT PEOPLE YOU RETARD!! He directly caused the death of 5 people on that train. Was that nescessary ??? No, ofcourse it fuckin wasnt. Did they deserve to die because one guy wanted to kill himself ?? No, ofcourse they didnt. He was a selfish mindless bastard- end of.

You've dug ya self a big enough hole already, think I'd leave it there if i were you!

Fuck my ole boots theres some stupid people on here!

[formidable38]

@WESTMIDLANDSGIRL2K11 Try telling the wife of Stan Martin and his 2 daughters that the bloke wasnt selfish.

Or Anjanette Rossi who's 9 year old daughter was killed. Or, the family of 14 year Emily Webster. You want any more??

IDIOT.

[WESTMIDLANDSGIRL2K11]

@formidable38 Try looking at yourself before calling other people idiots :) lmao people like you make me laugh so hard

[formidable38]

@WESTMIDLANDSGIRL2K11 So, let me get this right. You think im an idiot now, just for pointing out your ignorance and blatant stupidity in saying that the guy wasnt selfish for directly causing the deaths of 5 inocent people on a train???

Get real girl, for fucks sake!

[WESTMIDLANDSGIRL2K11]

@formidable38 lol yeah ok

[SittingMooseShaman]

...Waldo the Safety Gaboon Viper sez: "No iffs and's or buts- THAT driver's nuthin' but a quivverin' pile uh guts!"

[floorspeed]

thomas had bad acident

[trainsify]

The Effect Of A Train Hitting A Car Is The Same Effect As A Person Stepping On A Empty Coke Can. The Trains In The US Have A Thing Built Into The Engine So If A Train Hits A Car The Loco On The Train Automatically Shuts Down.

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@trainsify A word of advice: don't begin every word with a capital letter - it looks messy and difficult to read!

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

I think as far as possible they're trying to remove level crossings anyway for obvious reasons - the original Airdrie-Bathgate line had quite a few but the newly reopened one doesn't have any.

[tonyphillips1984]

thanks to a dopy nobhead car driver an hst got ruined damn car drivers bunch of tossers

[smiffy1071]

@tonyphillips1984 The car driver which caused this crash was worse than a "Knob head" I'd describe him as a "selfish cunt" this was no accident, it was a suicide... but why he had to take so many innocent people with him....

[TheMantisTycoon]

What seems like ages? Ages is what we have in America. 3 cars is not ages. 300 cars is ages. But still, gotta wait.

[justandy333]

which crash is pictured above? I remember 3 with HSTs being involved. Southall crash, Ladbroke Grove and Ufton Nervet. If im wrong, feel free to correct me.

[falcons1988]

@justandy333 That one was ufton nervet.

[DKS225]

@justandy333 your right what you said justandy333 about the HST collisions they involved power cars 43011,43019 and 43173

[TrainSpotterX]

We have a level crossing accident almost every week here in Australia. In 2009 there were over 29 incidents alone.

[battlestarone]

what happened to the rear power unit,did it go back into service,i take it the front one was beyond repair and cut up.

[shane2k9]

yes it did 43O29 the number is and 43O19 was written offf

[michigandon]

We NEED PSAs like this in the States!!!

[smiffy1071]

I bet it must be spooky driving 43029 (picture) nowadays....

All that was just because of 1 selfish twat

[Trainbuff2008]

The guy commiting suicide probably thought the train wouldn't derail ,all depends on the speed of the train if this had been a class47 hauled service then there is a strong possibility the train wouldn't of derailed. The design of the HST power car caused it to lift up slightly most probably but then i'm only guessing.

[neilmonkeygoat]

You guessed wrong, there was, and is a set of points immediately after the crossing, one portion of train went one way, the other portion another. The power car seen here is the bak power car.

[class171man]

good advert ++, pple should b fined severely if caught going through red lights at level crossings , the penalty currently standing is just not enough to put pple off doing it , il report anyone i c doin it so watch out !

[bwhugul]

Maybe bosses should accept that level crossings are still here to stay and people are bound to be held up! That's unless they remember exactly what times the trains go past so that they can avoid it!

[tonyphillips1984]

dopey car drivers ruined a great hst PAY MORE ATENTION DRIVERS

[virgintrains123]

thats not the point the point is people are at risk if you do not pay attention not ruin a train

[JamesBr661]

errr, do people still not know he commited suicide in a very selfish way? he wasn't in a hurry he stopped intetionally on the crossing in his car...

[wertrocks123]

Ufton Nervet is 4-5 miles from my house, i remember driving past it on the A4 that night and seeing all those flashing lights...

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

This is 10 times better than that operation lifesaver crap. This actually made me kinda spooked with that guys voice

[rogue9915]

Lifeguards and snowploughs are more effective but at 101mph nothing was going to do any good.

[rogue9915]

I've been to many collisions on level crossings including Ufton. I was one of the people there that had to pick up the pieces afterwards.

None of the adverts fully show the destructive power of a collision. If they want a hard hitting advert they should show real footage of the aftermath of these cretins' actions.

[chrismgallen]

search for Top Gear Train Crash - they smashed a train into a car to show the effects

[rogue9915]

Yeah, seen that. It's pretty good.

[back2frinky]

Would the HST be less likely to derail if it had buffers?

[StationEndGroup]

i think it would be the same. hitting a car only causes a minor derailment (the front bogie usualy comes a cropper). The problem with the Ufton Nervet crash (in the pic) was after the train derailed it ran over some points which sort of made it worse

[sonconmas]

Probably

[easportsbig899]

if he knew all that he probably wanted to die!

[steamtrains3]

fuck u

[Aerjas12]

I don't see why people don't just wait a few minutes to cross, waiting 5 minutes is surley better than losing your life?

[elixaristhedragon]

thats the choices save 5 mins or save your life

[laservader1]

i have a good plan scap cars and open up ALL the old lines and use them!

[sheep21]

because having the entire railnetwork implode under the pressure would be good for the UK how?

[mrspivvy]

quite right, the sad thing is that 50 years ago we had the rail network that we need today. typical short sighted bloody-mindedness, they ripped up all the track,bridges etc and built on the trackbeds almost immediately after they were closed. so frustrating. but then cars are more profitable for the treasury I suppose, so why invest in the railway?

[rubis945]

That selfish gay bastard killed a little girl in that crash and her mum, how the fuck do you tell her dad she won't be alive for Christmas? Maybe he should have moved to Bridgend then hung himself like those pathetic teens that nobody really cares about. Well I don't. Shortly after this crash, I was working on some Network Rail building projects supplying fencing to facilitate new safety barriers to be installed by LCs all over the SW region.

[halsalli]

Less of the gay bastard please, just selfish bastard will do. I will let someone from Bridgend respond to the bit about the pathetic teens. Then perhaps, if you don't care about those pathetic teens, maybe that makes you selfish.

[MalteaserMilly]

i know the train manager and the buffet host and a passenger that was on the ufton nervet crash, they survived. I give my thoughts to Driver Stan martin who did not. To think Train Drivers risk their lives everytime they drive a train, because anything could happen. people that use trains to kill themselves dont think about the aftermath, just because someone wants to die doesnt mean they have the right to take other people with them.

[whiteyidol]

there are easier, less selfish and quicker ways of commiting suicide. That was evil what he did

[taffy402]

This guy committed suicide killing the train driver and many passengers, how sad this is that so many died or were injured

by a selfish man. An express traveling at full speed 125 mph

cannot pull up like a car.

[TheMysticEgg]

That was a very selfish way to commit suicide, from the Ufton Nervet Crash this photo was taken. A similar accident happened nr my house, luckily it was a mail train so no passengers!

[Spraggsquatch]

There was a sign I saw on several roads one time. It said "Better late than never". So thats something to bear in mind with situations like this.

[IDOANYVIDS]

i heard a train driver commited suicide because he hit a car and killed the driver

[shiningold321]

You are a fucking sick bastard b199er!

[ImprovedAtom]

sick bastard

[47822]

Never ever ever run the risk ever its not fair on the drivers of the train

[pacer142086]

or the passengers if you cause a big crash

[47822]

sorry forgot 2 add that

[milepost326]

Nice one 47822!!!. Driver Stan Martin WAS a friend, near neighbour (Teignmouth) and colleague of mine. We worked together at Saltley and when he moved to Teignmouth we'd drink in the Brass Monkey and talk about our days at BR's premier depot. Well, that's all in the past and as mentioned lets not forget the passengers whose lives were lost. Including the young girl who died but whose father survived. must be terrible.

[angrygingerkidtech]

@47822 And the passengers....

[funkybros]

dont run the risk ... never..

[polina82]

Never ever ever run the risk

[MrSpike13]

I ran the risk this morning in bed

[mrdiddlydonk]

Have you asked for permission to use my employers advert?

[coombeh]

jobsworth!!

[mrdiddlydonk]

Is it not possible to have a laugh? I've used the same thing for my videos. I am far from a jobsworth, I hate working for them!

[dempsey088]

Proud of his job leave him alone....... LOL

[POON3345]

That is a bad accident.

[networksoutheast]

it's not as bad the maidstone east crash in 1993, search for maidstone east derailment.
