Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
My first inclination would be that it was being struck or run over by the train. Probably trying to be just as daring as the boys.
It's a shame to see a young person die in such a foolish and senseless way. May she rest in peace.
2. Lawsuit on the way?
Let me guess...social media challenge?
Really?
Usually these are boys that die this way.
Sad - but to say there was a ‘victim’ in this situation is crazy. Maybe a ‘victim’ of one’s on sad stupidity.
Well, they gave her some thoughts. That should make it all better.
It was exciting... For a while.

Somewhere, somehow a Whiteman is to blame.

“ Last year, a 15-year-old from Silver Spring was found dead on the tracks near the Rhode Island Avenue station, according to the Washington Post. Investigators said he was filming himself on top of a Metro slain when he slipped and fell.”
The quest for TikTok fame. I guess he won’t be filming himself any more.
Why is it necessary to issue such fake, saccharine, emotive PR statements? no one is sad.

...unclear what caused the girl to die or where authorities located her.
Surfing trains might be a clue.
Too soon old.
Too late smart.
Hate to see a kid lose their life in a silly manner like

It’s never to late in life, to give a second thought to what
you are about to attempt, considering the potential downside,

People sometimes do the damnedest things without any real
thought or consideration. Then lights out.
Don’t be that person.
In my foolish youth I hitchhiked from Illinois to California. In Denver I decided to ride a freight train. It was going to go to Ogden. I couldn’t find an open boxcar, so I chose an empty automobile carrying train car. There was no protection against the wind and it was very cold going over the Rocky Mountains (It was a spectacular view during the day though.) What kids might not know if they decide to ride a train car is that it violently bounces you up and down and shakes you back and forth. You might make it for a short distance but the odds are that if you are on top of the car you won’t stay there for long.
Well now I know what ‘train surfing’ is
