My condolences to the family. A very tragic loss, indeed.

[neverdie]

Very sad indeed. RIP.

[TAWP]

Not again... >_<

RIP and hopefully this wasn't another accident due to 'sneaking' over the rails while the train was in-fact approaching...

[jamesjdaly]

So tragic and a waste of life, but this will happen again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again............

[mahtin]

My condolences.

Never trust the barriers.

The official line will always be that they were down.

My condolences to the family remaining.

The crossing in question doesn't have any barriers or lights!

It is the 2nd fatal accident on the same crossing within about 6 month as much as I know, the one before this one (that I know of) killed friends of mine.

It is a very dangerous crossing, as the road makes a 90 degree curve right before and after the crossing, and it is a badly maintained dirt road, so you really got to watch where you are driving, which again makes it difficult to concentrate on the railroad track that curves out of sight in one direction.

It is heavily used by motorbikes and cars, and really deserves barriers or at least some lights!

I wonder how many more people have do die in that crossing until they finally put a barrier there...

p.s. I will try to find the picture I had of it, it had a fender of a car hung up on the cross... it belonged to my friends car and I guess was supposed to be some sort of warning.

Your explanation of the geography does little to diminish the fact that extreme caution was not used and that locals, by your intimation, are blase when using it.

Furthermore, while we opine about the event the Thais with their lack of driver training are oblivious to such dangers. hence the authorities see insufficient danger despite the increasing loss of life. When they seem so matter of fact about it and do nothing in result of the tragedies then it is hard to sympathise.

They treat life and death so lightly, why shouldn't we?

Personally, I would approach the crossing and stop. I would also consider stepping from the vehicle to view the line in both directions, or have apassenger do so and then proceeed under instruction and /or with extreme caution. Furthermore, where loved ones are concerned I would have them exit the vehicle and proceed alone.

Can you see the Thais acting so cautiously in regard to human life?

Thought not. It's sad but then they say it comes in threes.

Make sure you're there to chip the 10 cents next time. You could make a bomb with the video on You Tube.

Actually, I can't see anyone doing what you just described.

Would that be the video showing your loved ones copping their whack?

What an insensitive post, from someone who is far from eloquent.

R.I.P to those souls killed and to their families.

Wouldn't that be strange if it was the same train and operator that later that day crashed into the second truck killing 7 more? Whoa.
