Okay so I'm picturing this woman rushing toward the tracks...

Hurry, hurry... okay, if I make it across, I'll make make it to my destination on time; if I don't make it, I'll have to wait until the train passes, which could delay me by 10 minutes!!! I don't have time like that to waste.  Of course, if I get hit by the train, I'll die.  So will my ONE YEAR OLD niece.  I'm just gonna try and see what happens.

*sigh*

Okay, so I don't have anything good to say, so I'm just gonna shut up and leave the thread.

The pathetic thing it that someone from the family will try to sue the railroad because it was Metra's fault that Villanueva-Sanchez was an idiot!  :-\

The video...her head didn't seem to turn to look at where the train was.
What's up with that?

I can't watch the video because my stupid flash is jacked up.  >:(

I hate to say this, but I would care a lot less if she didn't have that baby in her arms.

Now the innocent baby is a victim of her trusted caretaker's negligence, irresponsibility, and poor decision-making. THAT's sad.

Exactly what I was thinking. She was running so slow.

Why didn't they edit out the first 1:35 of train going down the tracks. Only 5 seconds of it is what you clicked on it to see.

I know that this might be a lil' off topic but....

Have you ever been driving down a street and a lil' kid walks right in front of your car and you all but tear up your car trying to stop and that kid looks you in the eyes like "you betta slow down..."  ?/?

Maybe this lady had that mentality...but 2 tons is easier to stop that 200+ tons  :-\

Probably not the smartest idea playing chicken with a train. I think the train is going to win that one every time.

This is off topic too, but people laugh at me when I'm driving... I believe strongly in the "it takes a village" proverb. When I see kids (young ones, I don't mess with the big ones 'cause they are crazy) doing anything other than playing nicely, I'll slow down and holler at 'em...

"Get out the street! You know you're not supposed to be playing in the street!!!"

"Did you look both ways before you crossed that road? Be careful!!"

"Pull them pants up, boy!!!"

"Why aren't you in school?"

"The street lights are on, aren't you supposed to be home??"

Or just a general, "y'all behaving?"

Or when I see the kids at the bus stop, "y'all have a good day at school today, and mind your teachers!!"

I don't play with these chirr'n... I don't care if it's my neighborhood, your neighborhood, or I'm on vacation in North Dakota somewhere... when I see kids, I check 'em.  I wish one of 'em would run in front of my car, I'd take my belt off!!! LOL!!! (ok, I wouldn't go that far, but I'd fuss at them).

Wow.  Just watched the vid.  I can't believe there was no pep in that lady's step.  She seemed oblivious to the fact that the train was upon her.  Shame.

Actually it was a family full of idiots. I read in another article, that the people you see darting across the tracks in front of her was her husband & daughter. I just really feel bad for the little baby, cause she was in the care of some idiots.

Some husband. Instead of protecting her from harm, he led her right in harm's way. Wow.

I was thinking the same thing.  There wouldn't have been any way I didn't make sure my family was protected FIRST.

Sad sad story.  I think she took that "aint no way in the world he's gonna hit me and this baby" mindset.
