The RR Police would consider this a criminal trespass.  This might result in criminal charges.    This is over the top and Rich Melvin outlined it perfectly in a few words.  If I wanted to get rid of an iPhone, I would turn it into cash and not trash.

 

Something taped to track, the Feds will knock on the door and want to know who the other part of WE is.  Flames under train--WOW.  I will copy this as I am sure it will get pulled very soon.

Actually, on thinking about it, I think it is kind of neat, in a Godzilla Meets Bambi kind way.  I would have used something less expensive, but  . . . yeah, it was cool - I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist over it.  I was in one of the National labs once and we used a 5 MW squeezed light projector to "illuminate" a penny.  Sort of the same thing . . .

 

 

Guys, trespassing on railroad property and placing anything on the tracks is a criminal offense.  You can bet someone has already sent this bone head video to the Feds.  Google this guy and read about things he does.  The line between a dangerous person and a total wack job is very thin.  I know I would not want someone putting things on rails I travel on.

The answer to the question "why"...  is because in this case doing something stupid can make money for the person doing it.

 

TechRax (the entity posting this video) is a YouTube "Partner". YouTube "Partners" make money by posting videos that generate lots of views. The more outrageous the video, the more attention it gets, and the more views it generates.

Shame on YouTube for promoting/encouraging such obnoxious/meaningless/ridiculous behavior.

 

I imagine it will take a few deaths and the resulting lawsuits for them to re-think this initiative.
