How to break the boredom on a long train drive

meets my definition of a near miss..

oh look, they nearly missed...




but not quite.

As rangieman said, and not aimed at anyone in particular, please keep it nice in here, there's a good chance someone here knows someone involved in the crash in victoria yesterday.

I did notice the date it was posted , you have to show some concern for the family and friends concerned:cool:

Not to be a party pooper but you never know who is related or know the poor people that were in the accident

As you noticed, it was posted before the accident in Victoria. If this was a thread about that accident, I might agree with you.

One had better not ever look at http://www.wreckedexotics.com/ just in case one knows somebody who knows somebody who was killed in a car accident - or at TV programmes like RPA in case someone knows someone who died in hospital.

Some times even you have poor taste !
I was just thinking of how sad this was and seeing the poor people involved and showing some concern for what had happened
And id expect others to show the same concern and respect and not turn it in to a point the finger or make fun of other peoples sadness:cool:

Like I said, not aimed at anyone in particular, just a call for some good taste.

Near kerang on the mildura line to be correct:cool:

Hi,

Did anybody catch the channel 9 promo for the 6pm news at about 5.50pm down here in Melbourne?

They had footage of rescue workers helping to remove the bodies in the train and they clearly showed two workers lifting the body of a woman into a blue body bag. I found it quite confronting and I'm shocked that they broadcast it. Maybe it was a mistake in the rush to get the promo to air, but it was only a few years ago that it was even taboo for Newspapers to print photographs of dead bodies in their papers. Maybe the world's moved on and people in general aren't as shocked about tragedies etc..., but I didn't like to see it.

cheers Ben

heya Drivesafe... i think it's going a bit far censoring old topics because of recent events but may be worth just putting a line in the post of the 2 movies to say... graphic train accident videos or something.

and besides i've seen much worse... made the mistake of watching the video online a few years back of the american being decapitated in iraq... despite i've seen many similar things in movies... knowing it was real really turned the stomach for a few days
