Great image, but tragic given the circumstances of his death.

And the first two minutes of the following video are really disheartening.

He talks about the future...

"later in life ... windows close and the opportunities cease to exist"

Very sad. I hope his family is doing the best they can.

The one article I read said he was filming without a permit -- which would have afforded him a safety net as the train system or authority provides a flag man to warn of coming trains. But with the train's horn blaring, I'm not sure why he wouldn't have... or the people with him wouldn't have known what was about to happen.

Makes me think it was (yes, irresponsible, reckless, etc.) a freak accident. Maybe he heard the train horn but assumed he was on a different track?

Plain fucking stupidity? Maybe. Okay, definitely. But I have a lot of sympathy for stupid people and for people who f up. This was just one of those times when it was his last time to f up. :-/

Agreed ...It sounded harsh only caus it makes me mad at the loss of life in such a ridiculous and careless way
