…because the last line made me chuckle.
AUSTIN – The reigning Miss Deaf Texas died Monday afternoon after being struck by a train, officials said.
Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said. A witness told Austin television station KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred.

First of all, what I found particularly amusing was the fact that someone thought it important to mention the train sounded its horn repeatedly.
To answer your question, no, I wouldn’t think it was funny if it happened to someone I care about. I’d be too angry at that person for being so stupid. It’s not like the train jumped the tracks and hit her. She was walking on the tracks, which is a dumb thing for anybody to do but apparently she was lacking more than one kind of sense.

:mrgreen: LMAO! Jenny…I guess I’ll be seeing you in hell, too! I mean, when your deaf, should you really be anywhere near train tracks? You wouldnt let a blind man walk on the freeway would you?

You callous little shit. I hope you get hit by a train and a bunch of insensitive blogger assholes can laugh about it.
For your information the women was walking a route see had walked many times to get to her mom’s house. People get struck and killed by cars as they walk to work every day. No one laughs at them.

Way to make your case by wishing death on others.
The fact that she walked that route many times means this wasn’t some momentarily lapse in judgment on her part. This was a pattern of stupidity. And to compare it to all the people who get struck by cars is ridiculous because trains don’t come whipping around corners unexpectedly. Now, if a news report mentioned that a pedestrian was dancing in the street to the sound of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and then got plowed down by the car emanating the music, I’d probably get a giggle out of that too.
