I'm surprised the train couldn't stop in time they don't travel that fast.

This thread is from last year, but essentially the bigger something is, the longer it takes to slow down. It may take a heavily loaded train a couple of miles to come to a complete halt

Especially if it has no brakes and the driver is on Facebook

God, what a jerk parking a car on the train tracks, this is really stupid. At the very least, you should understand that railways are a very dangerous place, there are always signs when there is an intersection with an ordinary road. You should always think about other people, because someone's stupidity can hurt innocent people. As a result of this stupidity, a terrible catastrophe occurred. In Germany, cameras are installed everywhere, and therefore citizens do not risk breaking down on the railway tracks, but there people also understand that due to their inattention and disregard for the rules, other people can suffer, so there are some of the safest railways in the world. There you can also see for example here information about upcoming flights and see the route that you have to travel. I hope this will be a lesson for morons who don't think about anyone but themselves.

Well one big difference is that many crossings in other countries use bridges and overpasses. Here it's too flat so there are loads of official and unofficial level crossings.

But that principle has been twisted here over the millennia into fatalism. This has actually removed logical, cause and effect, thinking from the Khmer mindset.
It is not only that they believe if a truck hits them when they pull out onto a street without looking, that their destiny is already set. It has actually removed logical, cause and effect, thinking from the Khmer mindset.

You have to practice logic for centuries for it to truly take hold amongst a population - it is not innate.
Thank God (oops) for The Enlightenment, or we would be as "stupid" about many things as we were just 3/400 years go.
Or less.
The Buddha's teaching, from my understanding, is very scientific, logical and rational - but that has been lost in most countries where it has been practiced for so long.

It's not just South East Asia, and buddhism. There's another branch of humanity (on religious grounds) where this failure of logic/reason in favour of dogma occurs daily.
To avoid being labelled a racist or xenophobic, I shall refer to them as muslims!

Islam of old has been the source of some very significant advances in learning, education, science. Yet, the rather fatalistic view 'the will of Allah' plays a big part in the non-decision process, failing to appreciate that that very will put them there to be able to influence the outcome. As a result, if you have an incompetent and a competent person, each with the same role, with differing outcomes, it must be the will of god!
But the more enlightened and educated get that. It's those who accept without question that seem the biggest risk.
