Hi Greg
My point is people should not make fun of his Death. Granted he made a foolish decision which cost him his life. Even if this is getbig show respect, ...Rant over...

I wonder how long he lived for AFTER being hit. Probably only a few seconds.

Depends if it was a straight on hit I don't even think a half of a second depend on the speed of the train that force would rip him apart

Sorry, but it's just beyond stupid to film an excercise video on a live train track. When you do that, you really lose the "respect" clause that usually accompanies a death. Dude was an idiot.. a physically fit idiot

Bungee jumping is not against the law... The equivelant would be if he bungee jumped without strapping himself in and knew it prior to jumping. How the hell does a train sneak up on you in broad daylight?

It would be the equivalent of bungee jumping into the path of an oncoming train

OK forget the Law.. people climb free style, people jump from buildings space jumping, Alan Eustace jumped from the stratosphere...list goes on. No one on getbig was there so no one can really say what went on.

Seriously? No one can say what went on? So it's possible he was kidnapped, tied up and left on the tracks? Possible he suffered from amnesia and wound up wandering around confused?

yeah it s funny that most people automatically think he couldnt be an idiot because he was good looking, when noone would shed a single tear if he was ugly.

Nothing to do with his looks or who he was. Not the done thing to laugh at his death.

you tell me, after all you seem to have been there ?

Two men were filming George Plitt Jr., 37, on the railroad track north of the Burbank train station Saturday afternoon when Plitt was hit by a Metrolink passenger train, said Burbank Police Sgt. Scott Meadows.










Investigators, who interviewed witnesses who saw Plitt standing on the track even as the train's horn was blaring, have ruled out a suicide, he said.

It appears Plitt may have believed the train was on a nearby, parallel track, Meadows said.

"It's like a blind turn," he said. "When the train came, you might not be able to tell which set the train is on."

It was not immediately clear what the men were filming. Investigators are trying to determine who directed them to film on the railroad track.

The men were in a restricted area on the tracks, Sgt. Mark Stohl said

Again, anyone filming on a live track and gets run over... is an idiot. JMO
