I did not see this accident but I did see a man today on the Long Island rail road
jump and get hit by a train at about 12:40. It was a tragic moment.

Hello Vanessa,

I am not sure I understand your urban point as it doesn’t relate to my opinion of what happened. Most cases of people getting run over by railroads, subways, etc… result stem from being on the tracks illegally. This is not passing judgment but actual facts if you look back at the statistics.

I am sorry for his loss if it was truly an accident. However if it was not an accident, it is hard to feel bad for someone who should have known better.

How ignorant is it for someone to post that they feel sorry for one tragic death but not for another? Wow! This world is filled with uneducated individuals who have nothing better to do then to pass judgment on people and events they do not even know. First of all, being the niece of Dennis the second man hit by the train, I can tell you that Islip is not considered urban and so its not your typical railroad crossing area with a population of only 31,000. Plus he fell and hit his head on the railings causing him to pass out right on the tracks. Soon after he was struck by the train while still unconscious. So, I urge you people not make malicious comments about things you know nothing about.

As a friend of Pat’s his death is an absolute shock. He’s not a man, he was just a kid, only finishing his freshman year of college. He was the funniest most sarcastic person I had ever met, and I love him dearly. This is a shock to our whole community of friends, and his passing is much too soon. Without a doubt this was absolutley an accident, which should not have been paid for with his life. RiP Peabody.
