Brian walks to school about one mile from his home in rural Connecticut. He set up for school as usual by 6am hoping to arrive in an hour's time. Brian had walked for about 30 minutes when without warning, heavy rain began to fall. Within minutes, Brian was soaked to the skin. On reaching the railing intersection, he noticed that the railway bridge has given way during the heavy downpour. As he was about crossing, Brian sees the train coming. It took his mind seconds to register that this means a ghastly accident for the oncoming train. Without a second hesitation, Brian stood on the track, ignoring the warning whistles and started waving his shirts.
