15yo Katie Littlewood was killed by a train while crossing a railway line near to her home in Hertfordshire. She may have been wearing an iPod, and may have been texting.
People really do take their lives in their hands when they walk down the street listening to music or texting. Nevertheless it is fair to point out that Katie would not have been hit by a train if the level crossing had been replaced by a bridge.
Of course a bridge would cost money to build, but Britain squanders billions of pounds every year on illegal foreign wars, aid to African tyrants, and so on. If you vote in elections for politicians who prefer to waste money than spend it on useful things like bridges over railway lines, then you can reasonably claim to be an accessory to the death of Katie Littlewood.
