Title: May The Metal Gods smile upon you as well, my brothers & sisters. Post by: Merusk on April 19, 2006, 04:28:46 PM Quote from: The Edmonton Sun Train Bash Survivor Thanks Metal Gods (http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Alberta/2006/04/18/1538651-sun.html) By CP RED DEER -- The metal gods were smiling on Jesse Maggrah. The 20-year-old man was walking beside railway tracks on Sunday, the Norwegian heavy metal band Gorgoroth cranked on his portable CD player, when he was hit by a freight train. Maggrah said he did hear the blast of the train horn just before he was hit. "I tried to jump out of the way, but I guess not in time," he said yesterday from his bed at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. "It was just instant. I was just walking and then I was on the ground. I wasn't sure what happened. Then I saw the train stopping up ahead. I thought, 'Holy crap, dude, you just got hit by a train.' " Police say the engineer and conductor on the northbound Canadian Pacific Railway train saw the man on the tracks several kilometres south of Red Deer. The crew blew the whistle and attempted to stop, but they were only able to slow the train to about 50 kmh before hitting him. Maggrah was thrown four to five metres from the tracks. Stunned, he moved his arms and legs to check for damage. "I knew I was alive, so that was good." He has several broken ribs, one which is poking into a lung, his doctors have told him. Maggrah is also very sore and stiff, and is having trouble walking. Maggrah said he didn't hear the train over his music and he didn't feel anything through the ground. "Maybe the metal gods above were smiling on me and they didn't want one of their true warriors to die on them. Otherwise, I'd be up there in the kingdom of steel." Police say no charges are pending against the man. Title: Re: May The Metal Gods smile upon you as well, my brothers & sisters.

I am always scared after reading such stories because these people are allowed to vote, to breed and to operate heavy machinery although they do not have even the most basic grasp of reality. Walking on railroad tracks == stupid idea, walking on railroad tracks while listening to loud music = retarded idea. This is an equation that most five-year-olds could work out on their own.

That's just begging to be darwinised...but he still leaves a large, stupid family behind. It's the responsibility for intelligent and responsible people to have huge herds of kids to offset these fucking morons that won't stop breeding.
