The guy is big in the fitness industry. He's been in the military as a U.S army captain and is a really successful motivational speaker.

If you aren't well versed in the fitness world, you might not know who he is.

Filming with no permit by active rail lines sounds like it could only end badly

Yeah, serious, what was he thinking, what was his... train of thought here?
I guess he couldn't hear the train coming... he really needed an engineer.

Hopefully this wasn't suicide then.

Perhaps he should not have been standing next to rail lines where trains were whizzing past.

I never understand how this happens, trains don't exaclty sneak up quietly on a person.

Quite right...they didn't hear the train coming?
Maybe he was ex military and a small time fitness freak but, he and his groupies were lacking common sense or smarts?

You'd be surprised. A kid I went to elementary school with was walking alongside railway tracks a few years later, with a friend, and the friend was hit and killed. And this was likely without distractions like headphones or a cellphone as you'd possibly have today. People are becoming increasingly careless it seems. Just look at all the pedestrians run over in TO in recent years. They won't all have been the motorists' fault.

Two ways to get killed by a train; either you're trying to commit suicide or you're too stupid to get out of the way.

It was a crazy idea to be on train tracks, but I guess he had a loco motive. You never know when the grim reaper will choo choo choose you.

It obviously is possible, esp in noisy surroundings like an industrial zone or railyard, or when the "victim" is distracted in some way, such as talking, listening to headphones, cellphone browsing, etc.
