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.
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.
This sounds like the beginning of an Isekai Manga story. People, please do not stand on a train track, please! Be reasonable.
Last time I saw this intro it was Gantz… Yikes
I could have swore Japanese trains were known for moving faster than a speeding something or other…
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.
