When a great idea goes so bad:
People push a train in Uruguay for charity.
Train bows down to gravity and inertia, and therefore, keeps rolling forward. People in front of the train don't move.
Ouch, you get the gist of this by now.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay--Seven residents of a Uruguayan town were killed on Friday when they were run over by a train they were pushing as part of a reality television show aimed at raising funds for a local hospital, police said.
Several hundred townspeople from Young, about 235 miles west of the capital of Montevideo, were pushing a locomotive and two attached cars when some participants slipped and fell under the wheels of the train, said a police department spokesman.
To borrow a catch-phrase from Fark.com's often funny comments section: even in Uruguay, Darwin ensues.
Damn, talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
