Two drunk morons lose game of Chick

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

(following text copied from story in the Jerusalem Post, please see attached link) Police are investigating the possibility that a game of chicken played by a group of young men led two of them to their deaths when a train hit them near Emek Hefer early Friday morning.

Or Yehuda residents Avi Mor, 20, and Aviv Sharabi, 19, had left a bar in the Emek Hefer industrial district in central Israel about 3 on Friday morning and for reasons that are yet unclear, made their way by foot to nearby railroad tracks.

Mor and Sharabi began walking on the tracks when a northbound Beersheba- Haifa train hit them. Their friends called for help, and paramedics arrived to rule both men dead at the scene.

On Friday morning, Mor and Sharabi were buried in Yehud. Mor, who was serving in the navy, was buried in the cemetery’s military section.

The Traffic Police have opened an investigation into the accident, and among other possibilities, are probing whether the victims and their friends were intoxicated and took to the train tracks as some sort of dare.

Traffic Police said that all four men had been drinking, but they aren’t sure how intoxicated they were. They added that they still have the incident listed as a traffic accident and that they don’t suspect the train engineer of any wrong-doing.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Thanks, Sam, but train/pedestrian collisions are extremely commonplace. There are over 2000 ever year here in the US alone. We've heard about all sorts of idiocy, from simply walking/jogging on tracks to people sleeping, passed out, or even having sex on tracks. And then there are people who decide to ride bicycles and ATV's, cars, etc.
