Train Bash Survivor Thanking Metal Gods
Red Deer - The metal gods were smiling on Jesse Maggrah.
The 20-year-old man was walking beside railway tracks on Sunday, the Norwegian heavy metal band Gorgoroth cranked on his
portable CD player, when he was hit by a freight train.
Maggrah said he did hear the blast of the train horn just before he was hit.
"I tried to jump out of the way, but I guess not in time," he said yesterday from his bed at Red Deer Regional Hospital
Centre.
"It was just instant. I was just walking and then I was on the ground. I wasn't sure what happened. Then I saw the train stopping
up ahead. I thought, "Holy crap, dude, you just got hit by a train".
