Gary Hart, 36, from Lincolnshire, England, was towing a trailer behind his Land Rover when he slid off the road, ending up on a railroad track. He quickly got out and called the police on his cell phone to report the blocked track. “While the operator was speaking to him we heard him shout ‘The train’s coming!’ and then there was a bang,” a police spokesman said. The passenger train derailed and was then hit by a freight train hauling 1,000 tonnes of coal coming from the opposite direction — all while Hart watched. Thirteen people were killed. “It could have happened to anyone,” Hart’s mother Margaret later told reporters. “I just hope people don’t blame him.” (AFP) ...No matter what, a guy should always be able to count on his mom.
