Also from the same thread:
For people who aren’t intimately knowledgeable about the Seattle rail system, the Mt Baker station is an elevated platform. Meaning she had to have driven the WRONG WAY on a railroad about 40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES to end up here.
Edit: it looks like it was not “several miles” but less then one mile; a notable feat anyway:

The excuse that the GPS led them there is so ridiculous. Even if it did, you should absolutely have the awareness to determine that you can’t drive on railway tracks and override that decision.
Drivers need to be held more accountable for the moronic things they do. You make mistakes with gigantic machines and people get hurt or die. It’s not a, “whoops.”
“I don’t need to know things because Google/ChatGPT knows things for me.”
“Those DO NOT ENTER signs must be wrong. GPS said to turn here!”
“So anyway, chatgpt said…”
Cognitive surrender has been here all along, but it is about to get a lot worse.
“Several miles” is incorrect. Measuring on Google Earth says 500m, or 0.3 miles.
Still a fuckup but much less impressiveI think what’s most concerning is that it’s an elevated station. How do you leave the surface and not notice?
I mean, to be fair, once you’ve left the surface you can’t exactly get off the rails.
Yeah maybe they just like, got stuck. Can’t really turn around either.
I imagine that is what happened. Fear of reversing can make somebody plunge further ahead with some hope they could get out of it at a lower point with no repercussions? Still the wrong move but people be dumb
