This incident deserves its own thread rather than be buried in the megathread because the willfull negligence and incompetence is unbelievable. Who :
- parks on train tracks...
- and then locks a person inside...
- and then does nothing when they can see and hear a train approaching.
When I read this story I thought to myself "what the eff did I just read"
