Surveillance Camera Captures Man vs. Train Game of Chicken
Monday , December 10, 2007

File this under "What Was I Thinking?"

Andrew Ogden, a 21-year-old from Chorley, England, just couldn't resist showing off for his friends as they approached the Astley Village train crossing.

As a Northern Rail commuter train from Manchester Airport to Blackpool sped down the tracks last July, Ogden stopped and defiantly challenged it to a potentially deadly game of chicken.

The dangerous near-miss was captured on CCTV cameras.

"This was a shocking case of somebody blatantly showing off to their friends which could so easily have ended in tragedy. He was inches away from being struck by a train traveling at 50mph," said Superintendent Peter Holden of British Transport Police.

See the pictures and full story below.

He seriously doesn't have any respect for his life. I can only imagine how the conductor felt. Said he took a week off work after the incident. Trains are nothing to play with. Just seeing that video of the lady who gets hit, is highly disturbing.
