   The main eye witness has been interviewed in the press. But I'm sure the   
   press got it completely wrong.

   What does this speculation on your part have to do with any determination   
   NTSB might make?

   You're an idiot, hancock. The gate was down. The train was coming. She   
   didn't need to live there to understand that driving her vehicle directly   
   into the path of the train would cause death, versus just backing up after   
   her initial error.   
      
   She doesn't need to know how many trains per hour use that main line,   
   given that she knew there was a specific train coming and she could   
   see it coming.
