There was a guy who lived in my apartment complex years ago. He walked to work, probably thinking he was cool by walking on the train tracks which passed right through the center of the small downtown area. This was a very active track, and it was in a blow-zone (city ordinance that all trains had to blow their horn the entire time they were passing through). The trains passed right beside our apartment complex, blowing their horns (literally every 10 minutes), so there's no way this guy didn't know it was an active track. He apparently had headphones in, and somehow managed to get hit by a train, despite the loud noise and vibration of the track. He lived, but then multiple local businesses started fundraisers to raise money for his hospital and living expenses. They even made up a logo for him. Our apartment complex actually put out flyers asking people to donate to help pay his rent. I really couldn't muster up any sympathy for him. Everyone just glossed over the fact that there is no way to not hear or feel that train coming, even with headphones in, and he was an absolute idiot to be anywhere near the tracks. Sometimes I wonder if he just did it to get attention.
