ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) - They were seemingly ordinary tweets from
two friends hanging out on a railroad bridge in their hometown, enjoying
one last summer night together before heading back to college.
"Drinking on top of the Ellicott City sign," read one. "Looking down
on old ec," read another. Accompanying photos showed their view from the
bridge and their bare feet, one with painted blue toenails, dangling
over the edge. "Levitating," read another tweet.
Minutes after the messages were shared on the social media site
Twitter, a Baltimore-bound CSX freight train loaded with coal barreled
down the tracks and derailed, killing the 19-year-old women and toppling
railcars and coal onto the streets below of this historic Maryland
community.

Dang, such a shame.
At least their backs were facing the tracks so maybe they didn't see it coming. I hope it was painless for them.
God Bless.
A heartbreaking story; Life is so fragile.......
You said: "a Baltimore-bound CSX freight train loaded with coal barreled down the tracks" --
actually, it was not exceeding the speed limit at that point -- 25 miles per hour.
Why did their paernts allow them to be there?
