There's no such thing as a free ride

The news yesterday and today was full of the deaths of two young men who were hitching a ride atop a freight train wagon. Apparently they were fatally injured when they collided with an unlit footbridge, which was only 50cm above the top of the freight wagon. Poor guys - I wonder if they even realised what was about to happen.

I also wonder how badly affected the person was, who found the bodies when the train pulled in to the depot in Christchurch. That can't have been anything like fun for him.
