cnn.com has a story up about how the reigning "Miss Deaf Texas" was struck by a train yesterday and killed:
the article then goes on to say that McAvoy had been deaf since birth.Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking Monday near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said.
A witness told Austin television station KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred.
silly question--if you can't hear, isn't it a bad idea to walk on railroad tracks?

Theoretically, if she was paying attention, she should have *felt* that the train was coming. More than that, wtf was she doing near the tracks in the first place?
