Hey UC, I think TBS has a hotline you can call into and explain the situation, and the advisors will let you know if it's OK to laugh or not.

 

In reading all of these coments I am surprised that no one thought perhaps she was depressed. Of course deaf people have a hightened sense of everything but their hearing. I think she wanted to be there. As sad as it seems, I hope she is at peace. I like the site and everyone here but come on, if it was your sister or girlfriend, any of us would be a shell of a human being.

Seacrest Out!

 

Update:

Deaf beauty queen was text-messaging when hit by train

""She was a beautiful, bright, young deaf woman," said Bugen."

Not too bright.

 

cell phones strike again. Imagine what this woman could have done behind the wheel of a car?

 

exactly. And read the CNN piece. Cops are asking the railway hgow fast the train was going. Already they are trying to blame someone else. Nice culture we live in. Its the trains fault you got run over.

 

I say we pass new laws that outlaw text messaging while walking...too dangerous. Next we sue the train company because they didnt swerve out of the way. Finally any witnesses that come forward should be sued for failure to save the person.

I think that covers it.

 

SO much for my Opera theory.
:o

I read that it takes a quarter mile long train about a half a mile to stop from 45 mph.
