Train Hits Teen Girls Sunbathing On Tracks
Girls Lose Limbs In Horrific Train Crash
LEBANON, Maine (AP) ― Two teenage girls sunbathing on a railroad trestle lost limbs when a train came upon them unexpectedly in this New Hampshire border town, police said Wednesday.

The girls were lying on beach towels on the trestle over Three Mill Pond when the train rounded a corner and began braking and blasting its horn shortly before 11 a.m., said Lt. Gary Fecteau of the York County Sheriff's Department.

The conductor and engineer say they never saw the girls move, but their injuries suggest they tried to scramble away at the last moment, Fecteau said.

Destiny Phaneuf, 13, of Lebanon, lost her leg just below the knee; Rachel Brown 14, also of Lebanon, lost a foot, Fecteau said. Both were airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland.

The girls were cutting class and enjoying the sunny weather when the freight train came upon them, Fecteau said. There's no indication the girls were impaired by alcohol or drugs, or that their hearing was impaired by headphones, he said.

Phaneuf was unconscious when authorities arrived; Brown told police that the pair had fallen asleep while sunbathing, he said.

The train crew called to report the accident when it happened. Police and rescue workers from Milton, N.H., were first on the scene. They turned the investigation over to York County authorities after determining that the incident had happened in Maine.

My mom always told me only bad things came from skipping school.... there are no trains in class... i finally understand what she meant.

[jonny-rockets]

idiots.

who lays down on active train tracks?!

natural selection is a *****.

[Nate8409]

Ouch. I don't even know where any Trains tracks are in Lebanon.

And I live there lol.

[Bu11dogg2]

Relatives of yours?

[Nate8409]

That makes a lot of sense Randy. Don't you think I would have posted something in my original response if I was related to them.

[RobE]

wow... Randy with another 'smartpost delivery' :rolleyes:

[FreakBurrito]

Well since everyone in Maine is related....

[Nate8409]

That is probably a true statement. Although I think I would have said "Everyone on the planet is related."

[jonny-rockets]

^^ i think that's one of those perspective things. i think all asians look very similar, but i hear they think all westerners look very similar.

although i think that argument is trash since we have like 3+ different hair colors and they all have black hair.

[FreakBurrito]

I think it has more to deal with what we're accustomed to looking at in facial structures.

[Nate8409]

And one for that.

Obviously the school never tought them pyshics, how a ****ing several million ton ****ing train cant stop like a car... Maybe if they learned **** like that in school, they would have known that a ****ing beach is where you go to get a tan. The parents clearly have a case and should defiantely sue the school


:)

[RobE]

i dont think we should be talking about this.

[Robk0000]

we are not talking, the news is. We are gossiping and bs'ing and thinking about how stupid you have to be to do this.

[jonny-rockets]

do koreans count as asians?

[Robk0000]

wtf?

[Nate8409]

Sue the school?

For what not having GPS chips implanted into the kids. **** em. I bet they learned a valuable lesson about skipping school.

[jonny-rockets]

well i don't think they will be skipping at all. haha


oh zing that is brutal. http://smiliesftw.com/x/turbohsughr.gif

[Bu11dogg2]

yeah i look just like jet li


You know what... it's funny you say that... some people say I look like Brad Pitt, only younger and more handsome.

There has to be more to the story. You don't not hear a freight train horn with plenty of time to move - what, three feet?

Either the train was going 100mph, or the horn didn't work, or they were blazed out of their minds. Something's missing.

That video of the rat is awesome. Thats Darwinism. Obviously it wasn't fast enough.

The train made plenty of noise, the girls were sleeping on the tracks.

And the girls wouldn't be taught physics yet I don't believe, sounds like they were still in middle school.

[unsakred]

They are going to find it hard to get a leg up in the world..

not to mention..

getting off on the right foot.

O_o

[method]

I don't think they will be skipping again


( I stole that beauty from another forum )

I don't usually sleep so soundly that a train could sneak up on me with its horn blasting and run over my legs!

They must be named Eileen and Peg.

I can hear the amtrak train across town... how can you not hear a freight train coming up on you.

Whose up to try?

lol scs darwin awards

[Robk0000]

not to menton the earth shaking when the train is getting close.

I think they just wanted some attention, clearly they got more then they anticipated.

[Fiesta42]

So I guess an athletic career is probably no longer an option for these girls. They'll have make a living with their ... uhhh, intelligence.

I have to take it all back. The girls were doing what any girls their age would do ... when left alone all night.

[GrassyKnoll]

what the ****?!!? that's all I can think to say

[Robk0000]

"The next thing I knew I was under the train,"

[Robk0000]

you can hear a train from 5 miles away...HOW THE **** DO YOU NOT HEAR IT!


i think they did it just to get some attention.
