Here’s a tragic example why people should never take risks crossing rail tracks.
A train speeding through a seaside rail station has plowed into a group of youths taking a shortcut across the tracks to get to a beach party, killing at least 12 and injuring 14.
There was a pedestrian walkway over the tracks but it was closed because it was replaced by the underpass when the station was remodeled late last year
Here’s an AP video report from the scene:
