Day 280
My father once told me, "It's better to be 20 minutes late in this life than 20 years too early in the next."
Six lives were lost, and many more irreparably changed forever, because of an incredibly stupid decision made last night during rush hour. According to early reports, a woman drove over the train tracks after seeing the lights flash, hoping she could make it across. She even got out of her car on the tracks to look at the situation, before getting back in just as the train slammed into her car, killing her and five passengers on board the train.
The easiest decision was to never drive over train tracks at all, unless there was ample time and room on the other side for you to reach. And worst case scenario, she should have driven through the gates or just ran to save her own life. God only knows what was or wasn't going through her head, but suffice it to say, some incredibly bad decisions were made, decisions that cost six people their lives.
I pray for the souls of each and every person who lost their life yesterday, including the driver, and I pray for the healing--physically and spiritually--of all those left behind in the wake of this awful tragedy. Life's too short, and some bad things just can't be avoided. For all the dangerous situations that can be avoided though, we all need to be much smarter, and much more careful!
