In 1961 my big sister's friend was flying his glider and I guess he hit a bad air pocket cuz he went straight down to the ground at over a hundred miles an hour and at that point he quit being alive. Later that year my other sister's boyfriend's mom got hit by a train and killed instantly.
I know a guy that got hit by a train. He got an enormous amount of money because even though he was drunk, drove around the gate and it was clearly his fault, somehow they proved that there was an unrelated defect in the crossing gate and it was easier to just make this fool a millionaire than fight a protracted court battle with a team of thousand dollar an hour lawyers. But the trade off is, he's all kinds of fck'd up. He was in a coma for like a year. He has brain damage. It's awful.
