Sidney Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 There was a video doing the rounds of a guy stood on top of a train in India who touched the overhead wire, I won't link to it for obvious reason but it is both sickening and spectacular at the same time.

Children don't always think of the dangers of things before they do something. What a terrible accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 When climbing onto the top of a "disused train" did it not occur to him that those big cables above him might just be live? Children don't always think of the dangers of things before they do something. What a terrible accident. It wasn’t an accident, it was a teenager who had deliberately broken in to where he should not have been and was doing something he should not have been doing and has paid the price. Granted a high price but that’s just tough. Maybe this single event will get through to the feral scum who do go around ignoring warnings and directives NOT to do a thing where years of talking has achieved nothing.

scarbunny Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just sounds like a little chlorine in the gene pool. If the kid was to stupid to read the abundant signage then that’s his own fault. Bugger I'm agreeing with Rog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitantDogOwner Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hmmmm... This sounds awfully familiar. Wan't there some Manx lad in the Phillipiens (or Thailand can't remember which) who was some sort of child prodigy who electricuted themselves fiddling with some electrical wires whilst still in the pool? What is it with the Yuff and electricity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilitantDogOwner Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Um well unless the fact that electricity is DANGEROUS unless respected is being hidden from these teens then no. Sorry.

I agree with the fact that the little twat shouldn't have been in the train depot in the first place and likewise surely as a teenager should be capable of reading signs such as probably with a few of these dotted about the place . His 2 mates that survived have learnt a valuable lesson . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'feral scum' eh, I think that is a bit harsh. Some of us fortunately had the green fields of the IOM to run wild on as a kid - others aren't so lucky.

bluemonday Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 How interesting. If it was someones child from Laxey or Ramsey, there'd be the usual 'sympathy to family' posts. But of course it's an outworlder so fuck 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Skies Are Grey Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Strange how posters seem able to guffaw from afar at this death and yet everyone gets prissy about a sidecar rider topping himself......seems geographical detachment appeases the conscience.
