"The Vauxhall Vectra was hurled to the side of the track but miraculously the two idiots climbed out of the mangled wreckage unharmed."

Do you think that these guys will have to pay damages for the train like that German guy? Maybe they were lovers and had a suicide pact.

are we evolving to be able to take these kinds of incidents without death? because it seems to me that these guys should be dead. great. maybe we are de-evolving. going backwards.

I love how they use descriptives like "idiot," "maniac," "mindless,"...if only this were a mainstream news source instead of the Sun. The world could use a little more truth in journalism.

Well at least they used the Vauxhall Vectra for the stunt and took off in the BMW instead of the other way around. To all you British Rotteners I ask this question? What type of car is a Vauxhall? Is it pricey or is it just a everyday marque along the lines of Ford or VW? I would be happy to find out.

Oh, and how are you supposed to pronounce Vauxhall? Is it Vocks-hall or French-like as Vough-hall?

An article about them can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Vectra

The Vectra is comparable to the Ford Mondeo, and VW Passat. Generally here in Britain, small cars and diesel engined cars, hold their value better than larger cars. Cars are taxed by engine size on older cars, and by co emissions for newer cars. Popular small cars in Britain are Peugeot 106, Citroen Saxo, Vauxhall Corsa, Fiat Punto, Nissan Micra, VW Polo, Renault Clio e.t.c. If you go to www.ebay.co.uk you can search for these models, and see what they look like.

The theory of natural selection states that people that engage in some activities over others, or have some physical/mental characteristics instead of others will fail to pass on their genetic material at an increased rate compared to the general population. It does not conflict with Darwin's thinking when people like this survive. The key to the theory is rate. of course, we all know this. unfortunately, i think headlines implying darwin was "cheated" mislead people not familiar with the theory of natural selection. but, who cares? if they are misled, then they do not have the proper "fitness" in the darwinian sense, to understand the theory (at least at this point in their lives. i love headlines like "darwin was cheated." i sort of get a kick out of pretending that darwin is a large, fiery demigod (like the zoroastrian concept of "angra") eating lost souls in a firey pit.

Without doubt, the best rotten aspects of this article are the official quotes from the investigating authorities: “The situation had the potential to be a lot more serious. “Any collision with a train has the potential for serious or even fatal consequences. “Why the car was on the line will form part of the investigation.” Folks, you cannot make this stuff up. The police are far more brain-damaged than the morons who pulled this stunt.

"Is it pricey or is it just a everyday marque along the lines of Ford or VW?" pretty much just an everyday kinda small sedan/hatch... In Australia they are 'holden vectra' etc.... general motors owned I think.

Too bad the train wasn't going faster, like say 60mph instead of 20 to make up lost time or something.
