 OLD FORT, N.C. (AP) - Daniel DeLaVergne, a whitewater kayaker who paddled one of North America's most dangerous rivers in less than 10 hours, died Wednesday after being hit by a train. He was 29...There was just something terribly 'Zen' about this obit. |

| #5 really kind of a patheitc way to die. I keep having visions of Wile E. plastered to the front of a locomotive with the Road Runner as the engineer.... |

| #3 When you take shelter in a railway tunnel, Don't set up camp on the tracks. Darwin award nominee. "I ain't scared of no trains." |

| #2 From the article, he was sleeping in a rainroad tunnel, 200 ft in. When my buddy and I were 16 years old, we took a shortcut through the 2 mile long Tunnel 41 under Donner Summit. Nothing happened, but if a train came through, we may have been hit or asphixiated. I still shutter when I think about our foolishness back then. |
