IceFire 0 Posted October 5, 2002 OK, I have been reading this and people are continouly making a big deal out of this, and I don't see the situation. So you got stuck on the train tracks, and nothing happened? Where's the adrenaline ruch coming from? Sitting on the bus on the train tracks? That's it? Was there a train headed right at your bus? I mean if the train was comin right at your bus, and the bus driver dodged it by driving off the tracks at the last second, then I see the urgency. But you were just on the tracks with the train nowhere in sight. Could you hear the train coming? While your situation sounds like it would be scary, or nervous, I don't think it would be a fast paced adrenaline rush, cause nothing was happening except for you stuck on the tracks. And generally the alarm goes off many minutes before the train actually comes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The alarm goes off probable about 30 seconds to one minute before the train arrives, sometimes the train comes faster than 30 seconds sometimes it takes longer than a minute. I can guarantee you that adrenaline sure starts to get pumped into your blood when you're on the rails while everyone is screaming like hell, knowing that every year several people die while crossing these railways, and they didn't get stuck at all, in that case the train just came urlier than they thought... Just last year a 12 year old girl got killed on a railway very close to the one i was on... If you know all that shit, you sure know that you want to get outta there as fast as you can. Trust me... If you think "That's it?", i'd really like to see you in my position, i couldn't see the train coming (the bus is always full of ppl, i was sitting so i couldn't look past them.) but the screaming said enough for me! If you think this situation is nothing but me being stuck on the rails then you're wrong, i think. This stuff is damn scary and it IS something.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMATICH 0 Posted October 6, 2002 Ban me?! What?! Just because you can't take a joke? Batcha I know how this turns out. I was banned after just 4 post at the Hometheaterforum because I dared to complain about what they where doing there. Reviewing DVDs and getting 'em for free! They not only banned me but removed my posts. Freedom of speech is important. I was [i think] within my rights to make a little humor. I like this forum and feel quite at home here, but if they want me gone they will certainly do it. I must say again in my defense IT WAS ONLY A JJJJJJOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

RMATICH 0 Posted October 6, 2002 Sorry for my momentary flash of anger but wanting to BAN someone over something so "trivial". I almost fell into a whole at least the height of a medium sized office tower! I would have been killed if a guy beside me had not grabbed my arm. I once hit a but riding my bike. It was either that stationary bus or the moving car along side of it. My step mother was killed by her boyfriend one night. My sister and I were supposed to be with her that night. My dad thought the boyfriend was dangerous [because of the boyfriend's past threats/run in with the law etc.] so he kept us home and away from my stepmother for the time being. My step mother was shot in the face at least 2 times. My sister and I would have been shot also! NOW HOWS THAT FOR NEAR DEATH STORIES! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blomstermann 0 Posted October 6, 2002 Glad u are okay! Anyway, My last close-encounter with death was probably last Fall. At that time I had had my drivers licence in about 6 months, and was still a bit inexperienced (I still am, but you sure do learn from your mistakes) with driving on wet terrain. It was on the highway, with about 130 km/hour, and the weather had been fine the last months, but apperently the asphalt had been cooled down during the night. This meant that while it was being heated again by the sun, water would come on the surface, and since I still had my summer-wheels on, i started Aquaplanning. And with 130 km/hour it is not fun doing aquaplanning on the highway with traffic... believe me Anyway, when it was at its worst, the car was sliding sideways with about 120 km/hour (i think.... It was darn fast anyway), but I got the thing steared up (or it did it partly itself by accident i guess) and i slided beneath a bridge where the asphalt was dry and the wheels got grip again... Resulting in a flat tire since the car wasnt totally straightened up. Anyway, I was totally calm when it happend, but after the car stopped to a halt and i walked out from it, i could feal my legs getting shaky :/ Anyway, its not fun sliding sideways in a car with more than 100 km/hour, you shouldnt try this. Especially since It was pretty close to a bridge, and if the thing had hit it, or It was still completely sliding sideways when the tires hit the dry asphalt who knows what would have happend. Another time I was close to death (many years ago), was when I was a kid, and me an a m8 was building this tree-house. We got this fancy idea to use sjipping-line to walk on like the line-dancers in the circus.... So we used it to walk from tree to tree. Then one day we wanted to test how much it could take of weight (it was about 3Ë metres in the air). so we went both outside on it, standing next to each other. The next thing i remember was the fealing of having nothing to stand on (the line broke), so we obviously fell. In the fall a tree-stick grapped my jacket at my neck, so I was hanging there strangled in the line on my jacket.... I couldnt breath, but I managed to break the tree-stick and continue the fall to the ground where I again could breath I remember that I actually didnt think I was in any danger at any time, that i probably also why i could keep calm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMATICH 0 Posted October 7, 2002 Ok Darklight. No harm done then. I don't want to annoy anyone especially someone allmost got thinned out. I really was almost killed 3 times before like I described. The cave thing was chilling to me because it was a very unexplored cave in Alabama [boy Scout trip]. The rescue would have taken hour and hours. It probably would have been one of those tv situations. I must say though that I would certianly have been killed on impact in any case! Splat! So yeah I know just how you feel. To this day I will not enter a cave [even a safe comerial one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted October 7, 2002 Lol, I got a friend who actually parked on rail during an entire night. He was too drunk to drive so after 3 minutes he gave up, parked at the side and fell asleep right on that damn rail. But thanks god it was on a weekend and this was an industrial rail used by an industrial park.I dont know how often a train usually uses it but definetly once per day.
