To call out people for being disrespectful in my book is not a personal attack. Simply pointing out that flippant comments when someone has been killed IMO isn't particularly good form.

"Good form" isn't really an AN members' trait.

    Smoking claims another victim.  

  • So far many of above posts are discraceful. The bloke died. An avoidable death for sure but that wasn't the outcome.

I agree and have argued this point many times over the years on AN forums, this nonsense, RIP's to strangers.

 

They could be nasty people, criminals, Pedo's, murderers etc.

 

Why do these people want to do this, it really annoys me.

 

 

RIP is a religious term. IMO if one is dead one cannot rest or have peace because one no longer exists.

Should it be found that the construction intrusion attributed to his fall and fatality then one would expect compensation would be forwarded to the family, but TIT so who knows.

Should it be found that his smoking in an area in which it is banned (i.e. the entire train) contributed to his fall and death then one would expect compensation to be non-existent.

RIPs to total strangers, from total strangers, on a forum that his family is unlikely to know exists (never mind care about the thoughts of its usually vitriolic, anonymous members) are, by definition, pointless apart from for the self-aggrandising, back-patting, virtue signalling RIP-ers.

Totally out of context and as parasitic as all your rubbish Lou.

I don't RIP anyone, just used the term as an indicator in this instance.

You are not supposed to sit between carriages. 

Construction companies working on SRT facilities are not supposed to leave exposed construction obstacles or intrusions that could cause injury or fatality in situ. 

The only person who may have been affected by placing himself in an area in which there was a likelihood of severe personal injury was the Canadian doing something not only prohibited, but stupid.  The construction outside the train posed no danger to any other passenger on that train, or that route!

I lived there also, the worker would only see a few trains his shift. You don't know what you are talking about. 

 

How good is this forum, a Canadian dies and people want to stupidly argue about trains. 

 

Get a life LOOSERS. 

 

 

You've probably forgotten, but you're the one who started the debate about train numbers by disagreeing with me and insisting, ludicrously, that there is only one train a day on that line!

You haven't conceded, nor let it go, but have degenerated to name calling. Albeit you can't even get that right.

How very pedantic of you. Yep he didn't avoid the avoidable death.

Odd how accuracy becomes pedanticism over complete inaccuracy here.

"Why do these people want to do this, it really annoys me".

Virtue signalling, that's all, there can be no other reason when they have no connection, whatsoever, with the deceased.  That, or they're wannabe clerics!

Yeah, sadly I bite easily, bloody antagonisers. 

 

It's really weird, you make one silly comment about a guy having a nap in a strange place during working hours and all the looser want to attack you.

There are nothing 'intruding' if trains pass that location all the time with no problem, 
as these vintage thai railways posters will attest

 

And most of the construction is done, his danfling feet is probably got snagged by the station platform edge

My responding to your comment about "RIPs" was not out of context in any way.   You did admonish another poster for not "RIP-ing"!

Nope, WRONG. 

 

You started the debate, you were the one who replied to my first comment. 

 

You've probably forgotten, go back and look.

I remember 60 years back reading a sign on an Italian train window, roughly translated, "it is extremely dangerous to put any part of your body outside the train while it is moving".

They were right!

Trains in Britain used to have (maybe still have) similar warnings for the extremely stupid.

There is when the suggestion (in a comment on a forum that has the tendency to bash Thailand unremittingly) is that it is peculiar to Thailand.

I didn't say that it wasn't that train and I didn't say that it wasn't tragic.

The friends tracked his last known location near Klong Bang Tarn Station in the Banpong district of Ratchaburi province using his phone signal.

What does that mean?  How do third parties track their friend's phone "using its signal" without uploading some kind of spy app?   If I call a mate, there's no indication shown to me of his whereabouts.

I reckon the pigs prolly got onto mobile service provider and got em to ping his phone or some <deleted>.

If the leg injury was so severe that he was bleeding to death, he'd probably have have been unconscious in a few seconds due to the lack of. blood/oxygen flow to his brain.

"Police officers and railway authorities set out a search party for Ryan but could not locate him.  The friends tracked his last known location near Klong Bang Tarn Station..."

So the friends must have been lying?  Wonder why?
