man follows GPS onto train tracks


If he had just caught the engineers attention soon enough he could have turned the train. :|

That's funny -- and not that difficult to believe. Remember the TV commercial where the GPS unit tells the guy to turn right... and then after he crashes through the store window, it says "In 60 feet". If you've ever used a GPS navigation unit like this, you'll know its not that hard to be sent astray.
