A Hong Kong tourist has been killed in Japan after being hit by a train while reportedly taking photographs standing on the line.
The woman was standing on railway tracks to take photos of the sea before being hit by a train in Otaru city in Hokkaido on Thursday, Xinhua news agency said, citing Japanese media.
Sometimes you get the train, sometimes the train gets you.
Is there a Darwin Award community on Lemmy? This feels like a good submission.
Doesn’t qualify, she was too old.
I could have swore Japanese trains were known for moving faster than a speeding something or other…
This sounds like the beginning of an Isekai Manga story. People, please do not stand on a train track, please! Be reasonable.
Ridiculous. And the poor train conductor has to live with that.
The conductor is not the one driving the train. That’s the train driver.
Anyways, I read that almost every driver will eventually experience it. So I guess it’s just part of the job description.
