Is your car more important than your life?

Recently we had a young lady crossing some railroad tracks when her car became stuck & she was unable to move the car off the tracks. According to eye witnesses, she sat there & watched as a train rammed into her car rupturing the gas tank & the car exploding. I’ve read numerous incidents where something similar has happened. I’ve always wondered why anyone would just sit there like a deer in the headlights & watch as a train is barreling down on them…why not jump out & run??? I’ve never been in that situation & I hope I never have to find out!!! Anybody here been stuck on a rr track wondering what is going to happen that can help me to understand???

Out of all the cases that I’ve heard, only ONE was considered suicide by train.
