Wounded Veteran's Parade Float hit by train

http://abcnews.go.com/US/midland-texas-train-crash-hero-vets-die-saving/story?id=17735939#.UKa92I6cNS8


I am at a loss for words... I simply don't know how this kinda crap can happen.:confused: It sounds like the veteran's still performed heroically even after tragedy had wounded them again...

Midland known for being one of the most flat places on earth... getting hit by a train should be virtually impossible!

God Bless them...

Very sad.

This is why you NEVER start crossing the tracks unless you are certain there is enough room to clear them.

OH my God how could this happen??? the driver should have known better .the men saved their wives By pushing them to safety.
Just as a soldier would they put the ones he loves before themselves .this has put a lump in my throat I feel so sorry for the families

Turns out there have been at least 10 other collisions at this same crossing. You would think someone would have noticed and acted. Oh, wait.......that requires thought and potentially work.
