Teen dies playing chicken with Amtrak train

[bunnies]

11. Her explanation...

"It's not like it's such a bad thing that we go on [the tracks], because everyone does," says Rachel, who was 14 then. "Like people every day go on those tracks — go jumping off of it, they go in the water, sit on there and go fishing. It's not, like, out of the blue."

The girls lay down between the train tracks — Destiny, who was 13 at the time, on her right side and Rachel on her left side. They put their heads on Rachel's bag and fell asleep.

"We were like wicked tired and we didn't really mean to," Destiny says. "But we were just laying down and talking and everything."

Correction - her friend half a leg... not both feet. I remembered it wrong.
