Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

I think we need to encourage our deaf beauty queens not to promenade by railroad tracks.

I wonder what it sounds like when a room full of deaf beauty pageant contestants mourn the loss of one of their own?

I saw this last night on TiVoCommunity.com, in the Happy Hour forum, and the sad part is I first saw the headline on the main page, and it said something like "Miss Deaf Texas Hit..." and I mentally completed it with "...by a train." And was unsurprised to find I was correct.

Then the discussion quickly turned to physics as someone wondered why the train didn't stop before it hit her.
