Pwn3d By Train

If you have Zachariah Smith in your “five,” you may want to remove him. He is too stupid to be text messaging anyone and cellphones are hazardous to his health. He performed a wonderful Wile E Coyote stunt by waiting patiently at the railroad crossing for one train to pass. When it went by, he tried to cross the double tracks while texting and was pummeled by a train coming from the opposite direction. The impact launched his body more than 50 feet through the air.

His last txt message is purported to be:

From the Washington Post here:

ELMWOOD PLACE, Ohio — A train struck and injured a pedestrian who was sending a text message on his cell phone while crossing railroad tracks, a collision that hurled him about 50 feet.

Zachariah Smith, 18, waited for a southbound train to pass Monday morning. He then walked around a gate and onto the tracks, apparently unaware that another train was coming from the other direction.

“The horn was blowing like mad and the kid was text messaging,” said Mayor Richard Ellison, who went to the scene and talked to several witnesses after hearing of the accident. “The kid apparently was just daydreaming.”

Smith was knocked out by the collision. After regaining consciousness, Smith was taken by paramedics to nearby University Hospital in Cincinnati with undisclosed injuries.

When the mayor shows up and calls you a dumbass, you know you messed up.

Hotair ran the following video on its site today, and I thought it was appropriate to repeat it here.

Earlier this week I wrote about how Ashley Miller texted herself to death by driving into oncoming traffic.
