Do reporters even do research anymore?

Re: CSX Location Updates - Oct 2021
They did say that "It was unconfirmed as to what caused the stoppage." They can't say what the don't know for sure. Doing otherwise is foolish but sometimes they do it and get called out for it. (as they probably should) Now a 'daze' people get upset if you show a picture of the car in a crash...."My brother has a car like that, how can you do that!!!"
So it goes. And now we know the rest of the story from MQT.

Re: CSX Location Updates - Oct 2021
EVEN the officers on scene cannot speculate. The Chief or man in charge could but that doesn't mean they would. No one sticks their collective necks out anymore and for good reason. Notice on MLive and other news/tv sites they don't put up pics of the crash or the cause of the fire anymore...(it's still under investigation. TV 8 has a crew on scene, stay tuned for updates)...that never come.

Re: CSX Location Updates - Oct 2021
True, no reason to speculate on whether it was a suicide attempt or not, but at the time of the original report, the police were aware of the fact that the train hit a person, and that is why it remained stopped. I suppose they could have been unwilling to share that with the WLNS reporter had they been asked by said reporter.Doktor No wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 12:41 pmEVEN the officers on scene cannot speculate.

Re: CSX Location Updates - Oct 2021
Only reason why I knew is because the friend I gave the update to called me after it happened and he was waiting for cops. He saw the whole thing.
Kid was sitting criss cross on one of the rails, had his head down and his ears covered with his hands. Crew blew their horn the entire length of the bridge and the kid took the hit. He was wearing a large backpack at the time which is probably what saved him because it was packed full of stuff.
After the train passed his position at the bridge he confronted the kid as to which he said “I didn’t see them”, which is a load of bull. He then crossed the bridge limping while holding his back in obvious discomfort. Cops found him there.
