Pay attention to what's around you...reality is more important than your devices.

The point is; if you choose to climb on top of a train you'd be well advised to pay attention vs messing around with your phone. Although I must admit, it's rather stupid to climb on top of a train to begin with.

People will do the most idiotic things to get a 'good picture'. Then fail.

The mayor has declared 3 days of mouning???

Maybe he should concentrate more on sending out warnings to the stupid in future.

Somehow i feel the phone was just an added accessory, they would have made their way to the top of the train anyway.

HAHA, when I was in high school we had competitions on who could trrow the best parties, we weren't 'selfie olympians'.

My God, that sound so asinine, lol.
