Woman gets hit by a speeding Metra train EMD E9 # 9912 (Traingirl)

[starguard]

Why are trains even allowed to high ball through passenger station is beyond me. They should have speed limits there

[Taxi502]

sooooo....i guess the husband got the house?

[DENAANN1000]

what a dumb bitch!

[BlondBoy321]

My dad's friend watched this happen once, but the guy was in the middle so he just instantly exploded, poor guy...

[ACSCadillac]

0:04 OMG that's just gross!

[collegeman1988]

Anyone who thought that a lawsuit against the railroad was a good idea was an idiot.

[z4rion]

This is so brutal I do not think "pwnd" is the appropriate way to describe this...

[SnakeMxR]

Its the parents fault.. if the older lady hadnt of ran across neither would have the kid.

[XatEpicJona]

She has to be dead the train hit her and the train pushed her far away

[PETESEYESBLUE]

In all the years that i seen this it always cut short until now wow she has to be dead

[MrJerbrad]

Not to be Inhumane.....But the cops I talked to said it was horrible and and they found some remains on surrouning rooftops...whether that is legend I dont know....But please dont make light of a terrible tragedy

[vecuccio]

Finally after all this time - a name to go with a video that has been on the internet since 1994 !

Thankyou for humanizing this infamous video.

[vecuccio]

@vecuccio You can find her name - and the geohack location of this - on Wikipedia's "List of Rail Accidents (1990 - 1999), the Google Earth coordinates are 41.7954, -87.994

[joseg2143]

@vecuccio Are you being sarcastic?

[AlcoholicAvenger]

@joseg2143 I don't think so. I agree with him.

Greetings.

[deceptichris]

her brain flew out! :D

[superiorcanaduh]

@deceptichris You see that too? It looks like her brain came out as a mist/spray =)

[joseg2143]

@superiorcanaduh The pink mist!

[railfan7]

Ouch that must have hurt,( if she even felt it)

[Imnotanelectrician]

That is disturbing.

[amuslima99]

I remember it being shown on A&E 's Investigative Reports w/ Bill Kurtis about accidents on train tracks. I was never so devastated. Ofcourse the cut away before impact on TV. I had no idea they wouldn't here. I never have like crossing train tracks. Jet Magazine would have pictures of things that would happen you might not see in another publication. One memory I had is a photo in Jet of a man cut in two by a train because he didn't make it across the track and out its way in time ! terrible.

[amuslima99]

I remember it being shown on A&E 's Investigative Reports w/ Bill Kurtis about accidents on train tracks. I was never so devastated ! Ofcourse, they cut away before you saw actual impact, but you knew she got hit. A conductor said they can't stop the train in time while it is in motion for something or someone that happens to cross the tracks. So you can imagine how awful their job can be for them when something like that happens.

[TheChadNewby]

this is totally real... it was on banned from tv... sad

[ikefemula]

Sometimes just a little accident, I read that it was just in the divorce proceedings, and therefore probably not oblivious to the train when the train had already begun to perceive the meter from her .....

[offensiv3]

GF

[Pompadour123]

i like trains

[mgnyg46]

Just the stupid being weeded out!

[22nappyhead]

Is this real?????

[ProfessorIgor]

@22nappyhead absolutely real... this is not some BS youtube "did she make it ?" thing.

[mcboydy5]

that some crazy shit man fucking idiots man

[CoasterRailfan]

She rolled over a LOT. wow. At least it was not a direct blow or she would have been under the train.

[ccsloofar]

[PanAm812]

I don't know how some of you lowlifes

can even call yourselves Americans after

some of those comments. You know who you are. Go shoot yourselves in the head and do the USA a big favor!

[joseg2143]

@PanAm812 How do ANY of the comments have anything to do with patriotism?

[anothersickman]

@PanAm812 What's the problem. She's stupid. It's a train. Stupid people and trains don't mix. You wanna walk in front of one, that's up to you, but it's a dumbass move.

[crazydriver1869]

the only reason they haven't blocked this video is because of the blurryness of this video. it's sad to see someone's life get taken away in a split second and that it was caught on camera.

[soupo114]

ROFL BITCH GOT OWNED.... stupid cunt

[LOPEZdJUNGLIST]

ignorant bitch

[Invader010]

The I Like Trains guy came in at the wrong time lol

[TheDylanJoyce]

The Train was very "horny" and wanted to "plow" her...

[BNSF9250]

Ha she got hit like a hockey puck !!! lol

[AniDex]

....I'm still trying to figure out how the hell someone can be so distracted they don't notice a large, loud moving train.

[volkswag12]

@AniDex thats very true

[rev0luti0n2012]

Is anyone else hitting replay, watching this over and over and over? I can't stop watching it!

[metra179]

i think that was an old Burlington northern E9

[alvin190485]

The lawyer tricked her into crossing the railway. That's what I have observed. What a clever man.

[KinkNAbmx]

this video is so graphic...how a human life is gone in a split second...and her boddy flown through the air like a rag doll...this is one of the most horrifingly disturbing videos i have ever seen...im supprised its on youtube

[TheDixiedog123]

The person filming broke both his legs from the force of the woman hitting him/her!

[gregory462]

I'm thinking she had a terrible lack of judgement and on top of the the man to her left might have impaired her complete View and speed of the Train? IDK thats what i think were possible reasons she was hit! Because the average person does not run across the tracks with speeding trains heading there way, Cars and trucks Etc.. may try to beat trains but that lady Damn she Loca I'm assuming she was criticlly injured or most likely Killed ? Does any one know her fate?

[joseg2143]

@gregory462 Killed instantly. No way in hell anyone would survive getting hit by a train going at that speed. Even in a car, I would say.

[gregory462]

@joseg2143 Ya i kinda thought that by the Impact her body took fromtr train not to mention her body was Contourted..... Guess iI was just holding out hope for thaT Excuse me for saying But That dumb Broad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RenegadeChauffeur]

@gregory462 Yes, sadly the woman was killed. I remember this incident well. I was in high school when it happened, but I have been a train buff all my life.

[AmtrakKid1]

Her body FLEW across the tracks

[joseg2143]

@AmtrakKid1 Apparently, she struck and injured the railfan who recorded this. Pretty gnarly.

[PrettyBlueFairy]

@joseg2143 Broke his legs, too.

[Chrisgodoflard]

Haha, the lawyer now has to deal with her death.

[yakidk89]

The train survived.



[joseg2143]

@yakidk89 Oh yeah, the train was perfectly fine and referred to the incident as "a minor setback"

[ERGOPHOBIA1]

lol i like how the other guy just turns around not even giving a shit about the other girl

[joseg2143]

@ERGOPHOBIA1 He's a lawyer...when do they EVER care about anyone?

[seaseansean]

i live a few blocks from here

[stormspotter67]

i remember my dad showing me this video as a kid. think they used it as a training video. lady was meting with her lawyer to get a divorce from her husband.. if my memory serves correctly.

[Atomsk102]

Here in Plano TX they have banned the use of train horns at grade crossings. Even though trains don't come through here at 60 Mph, somebody is going to get killed because of this, very soon.

[geert574]

This is very sad, it can happen to everyone, a moment where your mind isn't really paying attention to your surroundings. Hope her soul is in a safe place.

[skinnyshit8888]

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THEIR TRAIN SCHEDULES!

[frankthetank961]

This locomotives twin is at the Illinois railway museum.

[darklichny]

yes, if only it had a 110db horn or something to alert its passing.... ya can't fix stupid... its a damn shame, but when crossing ANY path of a ANY vehicle, the fault is yours if you run in front of a speeding {anything}... i mean if your sight is blocked, just run thru blindly...

[inngglstoodt]

stupid

[RatBatSpiderCrab]

That poor woman (=^[

[360Nomad]

This is proof women shouldn't drive. Women can't cross railroad tracks without having an accident, let alone drive.

jk :P

[amp3cx10000a7jp]

Although it is a miserable accident, she who is a lawyer is the result of disregarding the rule and warning of a railroad.

[KinkNAbmx]

@amp3cx10000a7jp she was no lawyer the guy with her was a lawyer and she thought the bell was from the train sitting still at the station, whenn she approached the tracks the lawyer blocked her vision so she did not see the train until a split second before it hit her

[RamTerritory]

@Tc4oregon BN 9912

[rev0luti0n2012]

I can't stop hitting Replay. 

[demonicDEBACLE]

@rev0luti0n2012

me too :DD

[KinkNAbmx]

@rev0luti0n2012 i know me either...i wish there was a longer version i want to see if they show anything, like after she flew across the tracks

[rev0luti0n2012]

seriously, what the hell was she thinking?

[joseg2143]

@rev0luti0n2012 i'm guessing she had no idea of the destructive side of trains....or of the existence of trains, for that matter. I guess there's no trains in the kitchen, huh? :P

[hugo40598]

@joseg2143 hahaha xD

[estesoyojajaja]

@rev0luti0n2012 may be on her divorce. I read she was getting divorces.

[kmillard]

Is that train actually blowing its horn when its going through or is that just a sound effect??? There's little room for excuse if the train was sounding its horn unless the woman was deaf.

[PrettyBlueFairy]

@kmillard I'm pretty sure that's the horn. She had to have had hearing ability considering how both her and the lawyer were a) dumb enough to think it was a good idea, and b) they had that "oh shit" moment right around the same time because they were looking right at the ground and not paying attention.

[KinkNAbmx]

@kmillard no she was not deaf..it was the train tho, but they thought the horn was for the stationed train

[CaliHighinWhittier]

loooooooooooooooool

[Applepieisftw]

the train knew whats up, sending the woman back to the kitchen

[BuddhaCharlie]

This was in 1991 at the Fairview crossing in Downers Grove Illinois. I watched this happen. The express train would always come through the middle of the stopped train. We have had more pedestrian hit in Downers Grove in the past 20 years then any other stop on the Metra.

[mace085]

didnt see it?! you can hear it!

[PrettyBlueFairy]

@mace085 I don't know how she couldn't see or hear that train. That thing is bigger than a monster truck and has a deafening horn

[bsable1965]

@PrettyBlueFairy You know women don't like being told anything especially by a big bad train, Man watch the train dear

Women don tell me what to do

Man OK dear

women oh fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. lol

[TommyBahama101]

The womans a dumbass.

[soufjan12345]

DEADDDD!!!!!

[awsomeRailFan]

at 0:05 u can see the BN logo

[IAmSquareOne]

That's ONE way to settle a divorce.......

[pennsy6000]

How could have her estate even attempted to bring a wrongful death suit against the railroad??? IT'S HER FAULT SHE GOT HIT!!!!!! I don't feel sorry for anyone that get's hit by a train! It's one of the easiest things in the world to stay away from!

[trainz675]

to me thats a BN!!!!!! GET IT RIGHT.

[AmtrakKid1]

Oh shit!

[360Nomad]

Proof that men are the superior sex :P

[Blayzedays]

in the words of the late great smokey "you just got knocked the fuck out!"

[MyKrabsAreKrusty]

looks like her husband got the kids HAHAHAHA

[jasmmmm]

@MyKrabsAreKrusty ROFLMFAO!!!

[MegaZsolti]

@MyKrabsAreKrusty that was her lawyer, lol

[diogopm99]

women 1 : lets go to the other side!

women 2: no ! the train is coming !!!

women 1: FUCK the train !!!

[TheTVGuy45]

The women flew into the camera guy's Tripod, knocking it over.

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

@TheTVGuy45 no, he pointed it down for some odd reason, she missed by 5-2 feet. He let it fall to prbley get out of the way of her body...

[MoeJae86]

What are these people thinking?! Did they not hear the BELLS?! The HORN?! Seriously people are your lives worth that low that you have to run out in front of a moving train?! It's this kinda stuff that's hard for me to feel sorry for them because they obviously don't care. The only people I feel sorry for is the train crew and that camera man who witness that horrific event. They've ignored all safety equipment there to PROTECT them... Where I live they want to have no horn zones..how sad...

[dragondancer1814]

@MoeJae86 The rail crossings within city limits at our county seat actually HAVE no horn zones! Since our county is a major railroad hub for the Mid-Atlantic region, you can imagine how many car vs. train/pedestrian vs. train calls the fire departments in our county respond to every year! When the hell are people ever going to learn that if you tie with a train, you are going to LOSE?

And I agree, those witnesses and train crew didn't deserve to be put through that kind of hell.

[TheUp1990]

Notice how the lawyer doesn't jump back, but intstead, he just stops and sort of back's up. This guy is just so calm.

[RandomCoked]

notice how the lawyer's body probably was directly in the line of sight between the woman and the train, maybe that's why she didn't see it coming. something like that happened to one of my friends with a car, but he's fine now.

[joseg2143]

@RandomCoked Yeah, it's unfortunate to hear so often of Metra trains striking people or cars around here. At least oncw a month, an incident like this happens. Now they require all trains approaching grade crossings to do multiple horn blasts regardless of time of day, to many people's disappointments, but I think that is a good way of preventing collisions like this.

[avidal7]

@RandomCoked There is another train stopped there, obviouly both tought that the rail cross warnings were because of the stopped train. Suddenly the other one comes behind it at full speed giving the lawyer time to stop but since she experience that double blockage in her line of sight ...

[joseg2143]

@Tc4oregon This is a Metra EMD E9 engine # . Metra (METropolitan RAil) is a regional, Chicago-to-suburbs commuter line. I believe this was in Downers Grove, just south of Chicago.

[Evansville64]

@joseg2143 MEtropilitian TRansit  Athority

[mju1965]

@joseg2143 I would consider Downers Grove WEST of Chicago, not south. Suburbs like Park Forest, Lansing, and University Park would be south of Chicago.

[barreltrollololol]

ahahah, that dude is a troll. He led her into the tracks.

[joseg2143]

@barreltrollololol He IS a lawyer :P

[xrecon815]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH holy**** that scared me to death didnt think she'd fly at the camera...

[DaSkinnyApe]

HA

[DrewdawgGaming]

real?

[joseg2143]

@DrewdawgGaming As real as can be. Check out the long-winded description, lol. Thanks for watching!

[AEMoreira81]

@DrewdawgGaming Absolutely real.
