Talk about cheating death. A 13-year-old boy should be thanking his lucky stars for stumbling away with nothing else but a few bruises and a broken leg and elbow after appearing to be hit by an express train while he jumped down to the tracks at a station in West Sydney, Australia.
The 13-year-old survived by squeezing in between the carriages and platform, while the speeding express train grazed the side of his body. AOL Travel reports that it is believed he was heading over the other platform to talk to a girl when he realized a train was coming towards him and tried to run back to where he’d come from. The Daily Mail reports that the footage has been released by the New South Wales Department of Transport to show the foolishness of jumping onto railway lines, even if it appears that no trains are approaching.

Posted on August 28, 2011 at 6:53pmI love how the video starts out with making the point the boy already doesn’t care for his health. I lived in Australia and they certainly have you labeled as a piece of you know what if you are a smoker. They label the cigarettes with pictures of nasty black lungs and what not. The kids will call you a druggie for smoking do to their socialistic indoctrination. The kids all have to wear the same clothes ( uniforms) to school. The washer machines don’t clean your clothes because they use so little water and the detergent is so “Wimpy” it really does nothing. They claim the country has been in a drought for 20 years, yet, it rained quite often while I was there. I suspect this “ drought” status is a product of socialism. The hospital has thick glass windows separating you from the intake person. I suspect so that you don’t reach over and choke them because they treat you as if they are doing you a favor even speaking to you. The hospital reminded me a lot like the VA hospitals, only more rude and a bit dirtier. Certainly nothing like I know ere in the US. Oh yeah, also, the

Posted on August 28, 2011 at 10:20amOkay, where are the signs for the stupid people… “Caution crossing the tracks will be hazardous to your health and may result in death or maimed for life.” Heck, they have warnings on everything else,
Some people just don’t think with the brains God gave them.
Report Post »And the woman killed cause she needed to go to the bathroom. What they don’t have toilets on her side of the tracks? She could not walk the other way to find a bathroom. This type of action is usually done by men, cause we all know they don’t think of the consequences, but I would not expect this action from a woman.

Posted on August 28, 2011 at 2:16amWe must ban all mass transit NOW! The highly stupid are easily killed by mass transportation systems. On the other hand, it seems to be a good way to rid ourselves of the dumb and dumber in our populations.

Posted on August 28, 2011 at 2:39amWhat’s your explanation for people who die from lung cancer, who don’t smoke? How about people who have never been in a cigarette smoke environment in their entire life? Smoke free home, smoke free workplace, and yet they develop lung cancer. You must also consider the fact that many people who smoke never develop lung cancer. Maybe we’re all prewired to die from “something”.
