will the president be consoling these families as well?

This is complete Final Destination type stuff here. You cannot cheat Death. If Death wants you, he will eventually get you. Juss sayin.

Can't they install cameras at crossings and feed it to one station or the trains themselves in order to give these trains advance warning and time to slow

We all seem to have the same question....if the lights and bells were working, why did the driver proceed over the tracks?!!! What a tragic day. My heart is heavy on this one. I hate to hear stories of people dying in terrifying ways. May God bless all these families and all who witnessed it.

My wholeheartedly sympathy to persons who lost their lives in this accident! This is a sad day for our beloved veterans. Why driver didn't stop when he/she saw train coming is beyond me. Hope the others who were injured recover soon. Praying for all!

I sorry to hear what happen to these Veterans this is sad. I just don't understand why people don't yield to trains this should not have happen. Someone didn't learn to yield to trains. the lights the bells and train horn should have told them to stop for the train. God bless the USA.
