Well, at least he died doing what he loved; being buried alive and frantically screaming with the little air left in his lungs.

I.... what are the chances of using that image twice in one day?

Two people named Hendershot in the course of 4 articles....

They got a free cremation, at least.

"his mother said. He started to dress in black and had a lot of different hair styles and colors."

He died like he lived.

*snerk*

Lived adjacent to some railroad tracks in Buffalo, NY. Used to hitch shorts rides on freight, coal, and tanker cars.

/Only nearly got my feet cut off once when I slipped off the ladder.
//Never did that again.

Sounds like the bottom to me.

/Too obvious?

If only he and his companion had managed to open and crawl in that tanker car filled with Sherman Williams paint they could have had a more colorful end.

This. On the plus side, now his Mom can sue them for a bajillion dollars.

WTF...I used to hop trains all the time in Montana. It's not dangerous for those with enough intelligence to operate a toothbrush.

Hendershot trifecta in play?

And from a Darwinian perspective one very good decision.

We make so many efforts to protect fools in this country, but they still manage to find a way.

Killed by a large coal train?



Unavailable for comment...

Sad. I meant quit a few train hoppers around town and most of them are really nice people, even let two stay at my house once after meeting them at a bar. There are all kinds, Most are just suburban white kids who are given money by their parents but still want to live the "punk" life or whatever. Not something I am interested in or would ever do but I think i respect them for doing what they want to do rather then just live in their parents basement or work an office job.

Heh!

I've heard a lot lately about how fossil fuels were going to be the end of us all...and so it begins.

"Damn, they're in a tight spot!"

It'd be a coal day in hell before I'd try that.

Well, you take a big chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street, or sticking your face in a fan.

My dad has a bunch of train hopping stories from back in his college days. I'm not really sure how he survived his youth.
