IN THE PATH OF A MOVING TRAIN!
LEBANON, Maine -- Police said two teenage girls sunbathing on a railroad trestle lost limbs when a train came upon them unexpectedly in Lebanon Maine, along the New Hampshire border.
Authorities said 13-year-old Destiny Phaneuf and 14-year-old Rachel Brown, both of Lebanon, were lying on beach towels on the trestle over Three Mill Pond when the train rounded a corner late Wednesday morning and began braking and blasting its horn.
Lt. Gary Fecteau of the York County Sheriff's Department quotes the train crew as saying they never saw the girls move, but their injuries suggest they tried to scramble away at the last moment.
Phaneuf lost her leg just below the knee, while Brown lost a foot. Both were airlifted to a Portland hospital.
Fecteau said the girls were cutting class and enjoying the sunny weather. He said there's no indication that they were impaired by alcohol or drugs, or that their hearing was impaired by headphones.

DIE LAUGHING. By the way, kids.....this is exactly
why you shouldn't skip school. You'd probably have half a brain
not to
sunbathe on train tracks.
