Maybe possibly the rarity of the event Meg, a bit like aircraft crash fatalities..

Yes. They found spray cans near the men later on which indicated they had been spraying graffiti on trains.

Oh well. As sad as loss of life is, they knew the risks.

I have no sympathy for them if they were vandals.

Well, we don't know that for sure yet, just a theory but I also have little sympathy if it's true. I think they should be called vandals rather than artists anyway.

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]

I feel sorry for the train drivers, because any of them that traveled that route will be unsure if it was their train that hit them.

If you killed somebody with your car, when they ran out in front of you, it wouldn't be your fault but it would still be difficult to come to terms with!

I agree Twink. No doubt there will be an enquiry and compensation will be claimed for because the rail company didn't do enough to keep them out etc etc etc.

Whether they were doing wrong or not, I feel sadness for them and for their families left behind.
