| 878667 | 2010-04-20 23:50:00 | it is weirdly written, "stepped around the barriers" wtf was she walking at the time?? | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 878668 | 2010-04-20 23:52:00 | At least I'll be safe, I only use a nokia music player not an ipod. | psycik (12851) | ||
| 878669 | 2010-04-20 23:54:00 | I wonder if she was on anything will need toxicology report. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 878670 | 2010-04-20 23:55:00 | The train driver does not like cyclists so jumped the tracks on purpose? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 878671 | 2010-04-20 23:58:00 | If it happened where I think it did (corner Mataphihi Rd and Maunganui Rd - opposite Bayfair), there are pedestrian fences that 'guide' you through the crossing (ironically to stop people walking straight out onto the railway lines!), so I imagine she may have been walking her bike and paying no attention to surroundings... Perhaps it would have been safer to have been riding on the road??? At least there are barriers that come down across the road... |

| 878673 | 2010-04-21 00:34:00 | Why would you have an MP3 player on while cycling? Had she not been using the MP3 player then she would still be alive. |

| 878674 | 2010-04-21 01:34:00 | Make as much fun as you like about this tragic event. No one deserves to lose their life in such an awful way, regardless of whether it was their fault or not. The 55 year old woman was the wife of my wife's workmate. Not nice. Have respect please. | Jester (13) | ||
| 878675 | 2010-04-21 02:18:00 | Why would you have an MP3 player on while cycling? Had she not been using the MP3 player then she would still be alive. I use an MP3 player while cycling to work in the countryside. Relieves the boredom of the trip. I don't have the volume so loud that I can't hear traffic approaching from behind. The earplugs allow background noise to come through just fine. Don't jump to conclusions about the situation. Who knows how loud she had the volume up? If she ignored the visual clues about a train approaching, perhaps she would have ignored audio clues as well, irrespective of using an ipod. The same argument could be used for pedestrians using an MP3 player while crossing roads. |
