Unsure why so many have a death wish.
Nobody (who isn't suicidal) has a death wish...but many people do have appointments and other things that they need to get too, and other things that are occupying their minds.
This is obviously the same for drivers, no driver (well, very few) intend to hit and injure people. They are just human and have other things going on. The difference is when a driver screws up, it's often someone else who dies. This is why I wish to hold drivers to a higher standard, even though they have all the same things going on in their lives.
That being said, I watch the train out my window, near misses are an hourly occurrence or so, even within the limited vantage point I have.
