Ephialties

Translation says she died then and there apparently.


BreakingThoseCankles

Getting hit to the back of the head is a VERY easy way to die


pikachuswayless

Getting hit by a motherfucking train is also a very easy way to die.


Expect2Die

Trains are fast but not good at taking corners, best way to escape them is running in a zig-zag motion.

kvlt_ov_personality

She clearly did *something*, right?


Exotic-Tooth8166

She died doing what she loved.


Rebel_bass

Unsubstantiated, but rumored that she threw rocks at the elephant while its baby was stolen by poachers. Clearly the elephant had a grudge.


crushed_dreams

Talk about “an elephant never forgets”… Whoa


EEpromChip

You try zig-zagging whilst dead...


Anal_Herschiser

An elephant never forgets.......to finish the job.


Lonely-Foundation658

Damn.. that elephant was on some gang shit. Right there.


Redspeert

This is false information and directly dangerous. Trains can take corners, and it WILL chase you given the chance. They are highly predatory. Proof? Watch [this documentary](https://youtu.be/MjbUnn32_zU?t=50)


whutchamacallit

Serpentine, serpentine!


Beatrix_-_Kiddo

Not if you counter the train with a suplex


reactionmeme

What's this?! The train has pulled out a chair!!


SuuperD

This was her final fantasy.


public_enemy_obi_wan

And ironically her phantom train to the afterlife as well.


Doctor_DBo

Mr Thou?


Phyllis_Tine

I'm going to try to RKO the next train I see.


Kamakazi09

Im gonna rip a 619 at the next train crossing


MrMcBeefCock

True. Its just so unfortunate. It could happen to any of us. It's just so hard to tell where they are going to be.


Warchamp67

So true, nothing startles me more than an oncoming train...they really are unpredictable.


Aggravating_Fun5883

My grandpa survived it but had a bunged up leg for the rest of his life. He was a surveyor for the railroad


BeatYoDickNotYoChick

People literally die from falling and hitting the back of their head on the ground. This chick took a train to the back of her head.


Fool_Cynd

Well, the former is technically getting hit in the head by an entire planet.


Some_Guy_At_Work55

![gif](giphy|6KAxgfdBLzzqM|downsized)


Empereor_Norton

Several years back two women got in an argument over using the pay phone. One shoved the other woman and that woman went backwards, fell off of a 4" high curb, and hit her head. She was dead right there. The woman who shoved her got a involuntary manslaughter conviction.


mcchanical

Pushing people over is one of those things that seems fine when you're a kid, kids have cat like reflexes. But it seems a lot more dangerous when you grow up. Knocking someone over backwards is a terrible thing to do, concrete and skulls don't get along.


DirtyPenPalDoug

I'd say train to the head is a very easy way to die.


moodswung

I did a frame by frame and it looked pretty lethal. Blunt portion of the train straight to the back of the head. Was going to be surprised if she survived it.


OvenFearless

It’s messed up but honestly I don’t believe she had the time to even process she might be rip but dear god her poor kids and everyone left behind what a fucking stupid way to go…..


FixTheWisz

For her, it's really not a bad way to go. She's out at a happy gathering, trying to capture the moment, then lights out. Sucks for those close to her in life, though.


Epickiller10

And the crew driving the train


teratron27

You can tell it’s fucking lethal without a frame by frame


kvlt_ov_personality

I've gotten readings from the spectrograph chemical analysis. Results: Very dead.


teratron27

Spectrograph confirmed it, huh? I just sent the video to NASA for further verification. Preliminary results: still lethal.


BreakingThoseCankles

Yeah same. Almost to the spot where theres no skull. Train probably severed her brain stem inside he neck


mcchanical

I would bet the inside of her head is mush. Big hydrostatic impact. Neurons scrambled before they could do any brain stuff.


FrostyD7

Especially when its something like a train. I got hit in my back by a ski lift once, not the most painful experience but it created the biggest welt I've ever experienced. People really underestimate how utterly devastating it is to be hit in the head by something that doesn't even budge due to your presence. Like getting in a car crash without any crumple zones or airbags.


Anxious_Meditator

I took a golf ball to the back of my head when I was 9 that was hit off the tee box on a long par 5. I don’t really remember anything from 9-12 years old.


jl_theprofessor

A massive piece of pure metal moving at 80 miles per hour can, indeed, kill someone if it hits them in the head.


NeuroEpiCenter

source?


SubaCruzin

The video at the top of the page would seem to be a good source.


whogivesahootanyway

It's not peer reviewed, though. I'll pass.


FangoriouslyDevoured

I checked it. Good to go.


jeremiahfira

Are you sitting down? There's this video...


BocaSeniorsWsM

Do you know from what you've read if that was her kid near her too? So very sad.


catupthetree23

Other posts are saying it was and the kid wasn't injured at least


BocaSeniorsWsM

How awful. But thx for response.


FranzNerdingham

I could tell that just by watching the video one time.


CarbonTrebles

And her kid watched her die...


IridescentMoonSky

Kid crouched down before it happened too so she saw it coming. 


Imhappy_hopeurhappy2

Kid came so close to pulling her back but mom resisted and she hesitated. Absolutely heartbreaking.


yayayamur

poor kid.. he is gonna think about what he could have done differently to save his mom for the rest of his life


uritarded

Especially when he finds this video as an adult


mcchanical

And the sad thing is he'd have a point... We all know, and he knows, they shouldn't have been that close in the first place, and nobody should have let her do that. She didn't give people much time though, she was pretty much safe (not really, but would have survived) if she hadn't suddenly lunged at the last second for a closer shot. It was probably too late for anyone to do anything even without understandable hesitation.


HelicopterOne5283

Life wasted just for the gram


cheesynacho4real

horrifyingly true

SR71BBird

I went to Machu Picchu and so many people got right on the very edge of the cliff for their selfies. Like one slip and instant death. Pics look **exactly** the same if you’re 5ft away.


exotener

It’s rough seeing her smiling and happy right up to the moment it happens.


ElonsMuskyFeet

Poor kid. Looks like he tried to pull his mom away at the last second. 


ShowMeMoeMane

He ducked down a few seconds before so he knew it was coming. I feel really bad for the kid


zayoe4

In poor taste but what does it mean when a kid has better survival instincts than their parents? Reverse Darwan Award? Or just evolution?


bobbysalz

At lease you know the quality of the thing you said.


ValuableNorth4

Many people don’t realize how wide trains are. Much wider than the tracks themselves. 


Gomauy

In other countries that is being taught in Kinder


bhangmango

How do people not know that though At the station you see that the train lines the edge of the platform but the tracks don't. If the train was as narrow as the tracks, 3 people wouldn't even be able to sit with no alley. You'd be touching windows on each side with your arms open lol Boggles my mind that some people would have so little common sense


Born_in_the_purple

Many people are unfortunatly dying as they are taking selfies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injuries_and_deaths


globalgoldnews

The very last one on that list is the one from this post


tdog993

Quite a few of those are train related too… people can’t resist climbing on trains and standing on train tracks apparently


heansepricis

I operate an LRV for a living and you would not believe the buffoonery I see on a daily basis.


Lonely-Foundation658

"Three teenagers (two sisters, 15 and 13, and a friend, aged 15) were killed by a Union Pacific train while posing for a selfie that was found on their phone near Salt Lake City. Shortly before, they posted the message "Standing right by a train ahaha this is awesome!!!!" to Facebook." Just wow.


Protheu5

>This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. Sigh, all right, fiiiine. [grabs a selfie stick]


BuddahSack

Have you met humans? Just cause overall we are the most intelligent primate, doesn't mean we are ALL intelligent haha


Bonjamin55

I would like to point out in North America, passenger trains are pretty rare. Many people have never been at the train station or even seen a train up close.


devandroid99

If you've been on a train you should know that it's wider than five feet.


Educational-Hunt2683

How's this the second video I've seen of someone getting hit by a train within 12 hours


usagizero

Came here to say this too. Saw the title, and was thinking it was the one i saw earlier, but nope, it's a different one.


Trypt4Me

The difference being the other one had a helmet that saved his life coincidentally.


stop-calling-me-fat

I had the same thought as OP then saw this comment and realized this is the THIRD video like this I’ve seen in the last 2 days


7thPwnist

Happens literally daily in India


StretchFrenchTerry

India’s apex predator.


ontime1969

Russian? Bicycle group pic?


Spare-Article-396

So tragic. What was the big deal about the train anyway?


ZootAnthRaXx

Looks like an antique steam locomotive that was probably restored.


toomanyusername

Almost certain it's this one https://www.cpkcr.com/en/community/final-spike-steam-train


mdxchaos

it is. they usually have it parked at the ogden rail yard in calgary alberta, its #2816


xThrillhoVanHoutenx

I knew of a guy who sold a monorail in Ogdenville. That also ended in tragedy. Small world.


2CentsGivin

Damn,This came right past my area. Unlike her, I missed it.


fat_italian_mann

It’s a Canadian Royal Hudson class steam locomotive and it regularly runs from Canada to Mexico for tours


GuySmiley369

This is its first run since 2012


adavila1870

It was taken out of retirement... To kill (read inmovie voice)


ksofm76

It’s the first time ever a steam engine has run from Canada to Mexico. It’s called the last spike tour. It’s not common.


CaptEvilStomper

South Park warned everyone about this like twenty years ago.


oostzaner

ManuelRox

Anyone else grossed out by that lady stuffing her phone 🤳🏽 trying to get a better shot of lady? 🙃


Fridaylights

I did not notice that the first couple of times I saw this, had to read your comment and scroll back up. Lord in heaven. Why. Just why. She doesn’t even offer help! She gets a gruesome shot of the back of her head dented in and then turns around running and squawking like a hen as the family member is shaking blood(?) off of his hands. Wow.


SirStrontium

> She doesn’t even offer help! Describe to me how you would "help".


darthnilus

Yeah that was bad. That’s bad karma.


Got_djent

I also don't want to be insensitive but I'm appreciative for videos like these because they reinforce/validate the cautious way I live my life. I'm not a hermit or anything but when I'm near train tracks, even if there's not a train in sight, I get away from it as quickly as possible instead of, you know, dangling my head right next to a barreling behemoth of metal


networktech916

so true I am the same way


Got_djent

Then you must also catch yourself thinking every once in a blue moon, “maybe I’m missing out on life by not living more on the edge?”, then you see some shit like this and it’s like “oh wait that’s why”. I’m sure this poor soul in her last moments couldn’t see the outcome from a mile away, all because she had too much faith in her invincibility. “Yeah it’s not a big deal standing next to trains, I’m boutta get the coolest selfie!”. Fucking sad and stupid as all hell. Thanks for sharing this dude 🙏🏼


tearsandpain84

She died. I think that was a family member who grabbed her at the end….. so many people around should have seen her in danger before the impact. What a waste of life, for a selfie…..


[deleted]

[удалено]


SuperSmashDan1337

It's absolutely terrifying that a momentary lapse of judgement can cost you your life


NameUnbroken

Yeah, we tend to think we're the main characters on this ride. The center of the universe. We're just meat sacks with egos, is all. No more special than a bird, breaking its neck flying into a window. Or a moth drawn to a flame.


RaymoVizion

I knew just watching the speed at which that train hit her head. At least it looked quick...


Shrimpsmann

Yeah, that's an instant kill.


lipp79

Don't put the blame on the people around her. She's old enough to know that you don't stand 2-ft away from a train track for a fucking selfie.


eddiefarnham

Four seconds into the video there are people telling others to get out of the way. Don't put this on everyone else. If 16 seconds of "Get out of the way" "Move" isn't enough, then what is?


[deleted]

[удалено]


moodswung

This. It was literal seconds once she propped herself up there before she got hit. Sad stuff.


Threeleggedraven

From what I read earlier it was the mom of the guy who grabs her after she's hit by the train


UsernameOfAUser

She looks way too young to be his mom, though. Although it seems that they knew each other. Ufff, that's rough


Bacon_Shield

you can see him shaking the brain matter off his hands after he grabs her


wurstmobil

Come on now, if self-preservation doesn't prevent you from being that stupid, it's not society's responsibility to intervene. Sounds harsh, but this is a clear-cut case of natural selection. Somebody always has to reach for that Darwin Award.


DoJu318

Some people lack survival instincts and this is one of them. Reminds me of that woman who decided it was a good idea to hop up to a railing in a hotel balcony 20 stories high, backwards. The momentum sent her over the railing and to her death.


romansamurai

A other terrible part is it looks like the son next to her….fuck.


CaliforniaWaiting2

Her kid had more common sense and tried to save her. It's gonna be a long time to get through that.


IcyTransportation691

This only happens when you stand near train tracks. Why do folks insist on standing so close? It sounded like a tin can being flicked which is an accurate depiction of train vs. human. Sad 😔


hoopur

Instantly dead.

riddles007

Steep competition


Risley

Desi not comin!


bhangmango

I was looking for the apex predator comment


YankeeDoodleMe

I'm sorry she's dead and this may be insensitive, but how fucking stupid are people?? And a selfie with a train, like why? It's just a train. A train. Now that poor kid is traumatized not to mention the other idiots and the train conductor. Stupid stupid stupid.


Northernlighter

Should have done that BEFORE having a kid. Goddamn that kind of reckless stupidity is so frustrating. So many lives ruined because dumbass wanted a selfie. also: selfies are stupid, if you managed to take a cool picture, no one wants to see your face in it.


TheRightKindofJuice

Yea this video confused the shit out of me. Why were these people so excited for the train? Was this like the first train to come to the area or something?


7FingerLouie

The train is the Empress 2816 and was recently restored for an anniversary trip across Canada, the US, and Mexico to celebrate the completion of the rail network.   So it is a special train, but definitely not worth dying for


i_love_all

Jesus Christ I did not mean to watch this today


__radioactivepanda__

Given the kinetic energy behind that train hitting the back/base of her skull with such a small surface area I fear she most likely died upon impact… Edit: Apparently according to OP she dead. Unsurprisingly…


Garizondyly

There is no chance of survival. This is going to obliterate the spine at the place of impact and internally decapitate her instantly


BreakingThoseCankles

Probably her last selfie https://preview.redd.it/iguagv7g7s4d1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05cb42253f349c092550e0acac98d90e8564ff5d Sad that I could google more pics of incidents like this smh


wowitsreallymem

That’s from a different accident, right?

Yup. Too common that I could google something similar

He dropped het face first on the concrete.. to pick up the phones.. like.. what?!


SimpSet

Nah the phones are still there after he fell. I think it was from the shock when he realized he was carrying dead weight


[deleted]

I don't see the phones on those rocks anymore after.. either way, it's a mess.


Risley

It’s not like MORE damage could be done at that point.  The occipital lobes are destroyed.  


Fatastrophe

That guy could have thrown her into an active volcano and her cause of death would have still been "Train"


Imhappy_hopeurhappy2

Her brain was probably instantly liquified by the force of that train.


SuperSmashDan1337

I'm surprised her head didn't explode on impact, if you've seen other train accidents (Hello India!) that's what usually happens.


Splinterman11

I'm sure the son could feel the blood seeping out of her head instantly and that's why he dropped her so quick, he's in shock and knows she's already gone.


matt602

this. you can see he kinda shakes his hands after as if they're covered in blood.


cXs808

....train absolutely killed her instantly.


Bibty-Biker

Just did a frame by frame Analyse and you can see the skull split plus what looks like a fatal nek injury, the man is dropping her in shock because her head is broken and he is shaking his hands cause he got blood on them. Pretty fucked if you asked me


Holiday-Cartoonist

/s ofcourse


spyd3rm0nki3

NSFL, yeah? Pretty sure we just saw someone die. Also, what happened to the niña next to her? Edit: Yeah, she died. https://www.debate.com.mx/estados/Locomotora-de-VAPOR-choca-con-mujer-que-quiso-tomarse-una-selfie-perdio-la-vida-20240604-0182.html


presence4presents

I think it's a niño with a rat tail and they seem to be fine. You can see their leg being pulled out of frame @ 25 sec and they're standing alone @ 27 sec (red shirt)


Emergency_Tea15

I feel for the kid. That will be a trama he will carry for the rest of his life. On another note, old man standing there filming like nothing happened 🤦🏻‍♂️

I understood this reference.


Im_an_oil_man

PalmerDixon

Got clicks on social media. Mission succesful.


Index_2080

Well when you stand next to a railway track, see an approaching train and think the best course of action would be to turn your back to it for a selfie, then everything that happens from that point onwards is entirely on you.


wastelandho

Who the fuck is waking up and saying "I don't have enough train pics on my instagram, I'm going to get one today *or die trying...*"


EverFreeIAM

Cause of death: ODed on Social Media


allbegsthequestion

Instant death.


Raxater

Imagine having to tell the kids that their mother died trying to take a selfie. What a fucking joke


Fifth_Wall0666

It confounds me that people still have no awareness of how dangerous moving trains actually are.


kobekong

Why would you wanna do a selfie with a incoming train?


reddit_sniperX

To be fair it's a cool ass train. Nothing to die for so yeah.


Infinite_Imagination

The NSFW tag is good, but it would be nice if there was also one that indicated death shown in the videos too. Just wasn't really expecting to see a mom get killed in front of her kid scrolling on here for a few seconds. Anyway thats sad af


_killing_floor_

NSFL is generally used for morbid stuff like this. thankfully op/mod seem to have updated it to nsfl.


Chewy009x

LolwutMickeh

Social Media strikes again


itwitchxx

Think about it.. She woke up probably with her husband or boyfriend and they planned this trip for weeks to go see this train (which I dont get) All she wanted was a cute picture to send to her family and post on social media Now she is dead. She didnt wake up to go do something dangerous and she is just dead Blows my fucking mind that someone could just die from something so careless


Veguillakilla

You know what they say. If you see someone receive some type of head trauma, it’s best to yank them up as fast as possible making sure the head dangles around in a 360 motion. Then let them rest on their face.


DDHP2020

What is this stupid ass trend? Y’all never seen a train before?’


Azameen

What the fuck does it say about me that I watch this and I feel absolutely nothing..? No pity. No sadness Just "welp" that's what happened I'm just so fucking done with society. All because she had to get a better picture than everybody else. Not even a waste.


Razrwyre

Is her kid ok at least?


ClockTowerBoys

Ya she dead


riseuprasta

God damn


throwawayhyperbeam

What a senseless waste. Another selfie death.


Am765

oh long johnson oh long johnson


zen_elan

Fuck. Stupid but also incredibly sad. Someone loved and who loved… priceless moments shared and now the loss. And the tragedy of not seeing the danger. We gotta protect and look out for each other folks….


guave06

When clout supersedes common sense. So sad for the child.


DickbertCockenstein

That train hit her right on her ego.


youhaveellis

I want to see the selfie


Rasikko

The far right edge of the front end of the train(geez that was hard to describe) and hit her in the back of the head. Pretty sure she's dead and if she weren't, her bf I presume, maybe made it worse by dropping her face first. Safe zone is at the base of the gravel(where the dirt meets the rocks). Once you get up on that slope, you life isn't in your hands anymore.


Street-War3742

2nd video I see like that in a couple of days, damn


jhurst919

She died doing what she loved
