NANCY, France (AP) - A French anti-nuclear protester was killed Sunday in eastern France when his leg was severed by a train carrying radioactive waste to Germany, a police official said.
The incident took place further down the rails from where two other anti-nuclear protesters had earlier chained themselves to the tracks near the town of Nancy, briefly delaying the train, rail officials said.
Paramedics quickly cared for the protester after the incident near the town of Avricourt, but his leg was severed and he died en route to a nearby hospital, the police official said on condition of anonymity. The official said at least one other protester had been injured.

Good riddance. Chain yourself to a railroad track, lie down in front of an Israeli bulldozer... Don't be surprised when people don't care about your bluff.

He probably thought that the force of stupidity, when wielded with reckless abandon, can stop a moving train. Sorry bud.

The train was probably being driven by an evil right winger that swerved to get the activist.

Similar thing happened many years ago in CA...some nutball laid across tracks of a train carrying nuclear devices (under orders NOT TO STOP FOR ANYTHING). I understand the crew of the loco had to have "therapy"...

Maybe he should have been protesting trains in general...
If leg severing trains are outlawed only outlaws will have them.
