Also from the same thread:
For people who aren't intimately knowledgeable about the Seattle rail system, the Mt Baker station is an elevated platform. Meaning she had to have driven the WRONG WAY on a railroad about 40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES to end up here.
Edit: it looks like it was not "several miles" but less then one mile; a notable feat anyway:
I work for an MTA. This sort of thing happens all the time. People are crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Car traps are good, but still close up the line. In this case though maybe the car would be recoverable. Now they need a crane.
An MTA, I'm pretty sure there's only one MTA (ok well technically there's two)
So the cars are able to fit through the entrance?
Yes. When the light rail vehicle enters the tunnel from the street, it's at the same grade as the traffic. All a car has to do is ignore signs and bumps, etc. Pretty sure they're usually blind drunk.
Even better:
According to someone who was there and watched it happen, there were multiple people banging on her car windows trying to get her to stop. But she just kept going and going until THE LITERAL GROUND FELL AWAY leaving her car beached on the frame on top of the train tracks.
Willfully doing it does explain a lot
Focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.
LADY THERE IS NO VALET PARKING!
That's just baffling. I know our light rails, take it to Seatac whenever I travel. How the everliving fuck did that happen?
Looking at the station makes it even crazier:
They’re just waiting for the train to push them into 1885.
There were much better ways to do that, that Doc Brown would have known.....
Is there a right way to drive several miles on an elevated train track?
In a train.
I guess that it means that train direction on that track was opposite... I don't think this makes this episode any worse 🤷♂️
I figured, I just couldn’t help trying to be funny.
40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES
Fuck. I'm honestly just impressed.
Wrong way too
More like a quarter of a mile
Lucky she made it to a station.
How, just how can you be this dumb? What's in the water over there? Murcery? Lead?
Mormonism.... Basically worse than all three.
driver is from utah, not here. don't blame us for her crazy shit.
To be honest, I was talking much wider than the state of Washington.
yeah and I'm sure all the people where you come from are fucking perfect.
No, but the amount of dumb coming from that part of the world is staggering.
What kind of test do you guys have to pass for a drivers license???
Well, during our tests, we never have to go past railroad tracks! How can we be expected to just know that we’re not supposed to turn into them?
Idk about several miles, looks like a few hundred meters on a map.
Has to be sleep-walking, drug use, or schizo-affective. I don’t see how else this happens to someone with a functioning mind.
Could be all 3 🤔
Or just a Utah driver... but according to her it was GPS that led her astray
Clearly, you can. But while you're busy wondering if you can, don't forget to stop and ask yourself if you should
Ah...Utah.
'Been waiting for Back to the Future IV.
The transit authorities had to call for backup from the fashion police.
I zoomed in on the sign to see if this could be in Phoenix, as if there weren't trees precluding that possibility.
For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).
Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.
