   A bodybuilder who was struck and killed by a train was reportedly   
   attempting to outrun the locomotive on its own tracks for a promo shoot   
   when he died.   
      
   Law enforcement sources told TMZ that 37-year-old actor, model and   
   bodybuilder Greg Plitt was trying to prove the effectiveness of an energy   
   drink when he harrowingly dashed before the train in Burbank, Calif.   
   Saturday.   
      
   The Superman-like move, showcasing him as being "more powerful than a   
   locomotive," instead tragically cost him his life.   
      
   Police confirmed to the Daily News Tuesday that video taken from the   
   Metrolink commuter train captured the former Army Ranger dangerously   
   "running on the rails" ahead of the train before he suddenly disappears   
   off camera.   
      
   Due to the camera's high angle, "that portion there we're unable to see,"   
   said Officer Josh Kendrick.   
      
   Plitt was reportedly flexing his muscle for an energy drink promotion with   
   Shadow Beverage, which lacked a proper permit, when the horrific accident   
   occurred, NBC Los Angeles reported.   
      
   The company touts caffeinated drinks called "No Fear" and "Whey Up."   
      
   "It was unknown if he heard or saw the train," Kendrick said of Plitt's   
   final moments while being trailed by the locomotive whose conductor   
   allegedly blasted its whistle and attempted to slow down.   
      
   Police have yet to review additional footage taken by two individuals who   
   were with Plitt, he said.   
      
   A detective told TMZ that there were multiple energy drink bottles near   
   the tracks, suggesting that Plitt was hopped up on caffeine before making   
   the dangerous run.   
      
   Plitt, who was a West Point graduate and Captain and Ranger in the U.S.   
   Army, was set to appear in the new Bravo reality TV series, "Friends to   
   Lovers," before his fatal accident.

   Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United   
   States of America.   
      
   Eric Holder, racist black murdering United States Attorney General, still   
   has his job.   
      
   Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to   
   improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed   
   felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.   
      
   Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then   
   relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder   
   in order to cover up his own ineptitude.   
      
   Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases   
   insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.   
      
   Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt prior to their removal for   
   failing to represent the people and constitutional violations.
