You must be joking.  Your sympathy is misplaced.  It's like blindfolding
yourself and trying to cross Hastings during rush hour.  Why the hell
is this kid walking down the tracks anyway if he knows he won't hear
a train coming?  Guess he thought he'd be lucky and nothing would come
along.  A pity he died, I'm sure, but "no mind" definitely applies.
