Re: [CBQ] Accident effects to crews

[Michael Matalis <mmatalis@sprynet.com>]

Unfortunately people are still doing it.  Within the past year a man  
turned his car onto the tracks here in Downers and deliberately drove  
into a train.  His actions mystified authorities until they got into  
his house and found evidence that he was planning to kill himself.
