What did I just read?
He was a what student?
Maybe an honor student in the SPED class. No smart kid would ever do something that retarded. (no offense to those with Trisomy 21)

Was he an honor student at Darwins Idiot Savantes?
Sounds like he was handicapped before and now he will hobble through life without a foot to stand on...

Wow. They’ve really lowered the bar for Honor Student status since my day.

My guess is that he’s got very serious emotional problems or was high on drugs.

Honor Student, huh? I bet he could tell us if a northbound train leaving Atlanta runs over 2 legs at 1:00pm and it takes a mile and 3/4 to stop then the train was traveling how fast at the point of deleggification.
“It took the locomotive between half a mile and three quarters of a mile to stop after the accident.”
Accident hell. Looks like the moron did that ON PURPOSE!
To: Morgana; All
"Trains can't stop quickly or swerve. The average freight train is about 1 to 1¼ miles in length (90 to 120 rail cars). When it's moving at 55 miles an hour, it can take a mile or more to stop after the locomotive engineer fully applies [emphases added] the emergency brake. An 8-car passenger train moving at 80 miles an hour needs about a mile to stop.

Ohls parents have commented on why their son was on the tracks in the first place on Thursday afternoon. But we decided not to tell you? WTF?

“No foot to stand on.”
Exactly. His (future) claim against CSX doesn’t have a leg to stand on. But he’s welcome to try!

Back in the late 70's, there was a really strange plant engineer that worked for my manufacturing company in Detroit. He was one of those types who would every early morning patrol neighborhoods on garbage day and fill up his station wagon with junk.
Anyway, his son ultimately committed suicide by train by lying on a local railroad track.........
Several years later, his wife committed suicide via the same method............
To this day, I've always found those tragic deaths to be very suspicious...considering the fact that at that time our company offered optional dependent life insurance that was paid out in both cases.........

“Its not really known for its good,common sense.”
This is beyond good common sense. That kid is either seriously mess up, on drugs or just not an “honor student” like this article wants to claim he is. Boys in my day did stuff that lacked common sense but never to this scale.

I’m betting this was a botched suicide. You don’t get run over by a freight train by accident. You have to really work at it.
