hay nkablock ako pg ke marian na topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hindi ko kayo hinihikayat na pumasok sa tunnel, pero sabi sa IRFCAdotORG, kung nasa loob kayo ng tunnel, at dumaan ang tren, the safest possible position raw is to lie down flat at the corner formed by the wall of the tunnel, PARALLEL to the tracks, as far away from the tracks as possible.

daming mga railway fans pala. Search nyo ito : IRFCAdotORG, Safety For Railfans. Ito iyong Indian Railways Fan Club. Prominent ang liabilities disclamer nila. Wag silang sisihin kung maaksidente raw ang mga nagbabasa ng website nila, in the pursuit of railfanning. Basahin nyo iyong BRIDGES AND TUNNELS. Kahit ano palang katakot takot na warning ang gawin ng railroad companies, meron talagang mga railways fans, na gawain to ignore iyong signages nila. For the adrenalin rush?

LOL... cute talaga ni kaye. Hindi sila naka AMTRAK, kungdi naka CADILLAC. CADILLAC-kad. Nagpasiya silang pumasok sa loob ng tunnel ng tren, on foot. Nang sandaling nasa loob sila ng tunnel, saka dumaan iyong Amtrak.

Iyong website na naka link sa itaas, may nagpaliwanag ng VACUUM, SUCTION and WIND FORCES. Kung bakit iyong signal to LEAN BACK is not sufficient. Galing. So kung may manggaya ng ginawa nila, at iisipin lang na, basta LEAN BACK as far away from the train as possible, as close as possible to the wall, hindi pala ganun kadali.

Bakit naman sila naka Amtrak? Sana nag rent a car nalang sila. Takot talaga ako sa Amtrak.

Jay-R your doing great sometimes it happen i just admire you that you stick with your GF and both of you survive because you stick together,my auntie call-of the wedding 'cause her fiance scape the building before her but thank's God nothing happen to her and i wish never to have earthquake here. Just pray and get the lesson by it go back there and start painting the sign or make a night that make people not to go on that tunnel and Put the Name of Myra on it so she will not forgotten.

grabe all pictures of Mr. Juanguerra was touching. Grabe is like a nightmare pero kung ako parent ni Myra i question na husband Jay-R is great he make sure his gF is self and they both survive What happen to stupid husband of Myra i remember my Auntie yong may lindol nong maliit pa ako ikakasal sana sila kaso yon nga nasa taas yata sila ng building ng mall tapos naunang lumas ng building yong fiance naiwan si sa loob yamot call -off ang wedding.

ignorante ang mga Pinoy? Ang pinag-uusapan ay ang mga hikers na pumasok sa loob ng tunnel, hindi ang buong lahing Pinoy. Di sila ignorante dahil Pinoy sila, kungdi dahil nag-desisyon silang pasukin ang tunnel ng tren. Acknowledged naman iyon sa mga reports na namatayan sila, na tragic at senseless ang pagkamatay ni Myra Calove. Pero di ibig sabihin noon, tulad ng pinalilitaw ng iba, na kasalanan ng railroad company ang nangyaring pagkamatay ni Myra. They knowingly put themselves in the wrong place. Papaano mo naman sasabihing abandonado iyong tunnel, may riles sa loob ng tunnel. Riles equals tren. Pero maaaring naging sanhi pa sila ng pagkamatay ng mga pasahero ng tren, kung na derail ang tren sa pag-a-apply ng emergency brakes. Kung may namatay ng mga pasahero dahil sa derailment, pihadong makukulong sila. Hindi na nga sila kinasuhan kahit na crime ang ginawa nilang pagpasok sa tunnel ng tren, dahil nga namatayan sila. Pero kung babaligtarin na kasalanan ng railroad company ang nangyari, baka ituloy ang pag

happysalamat, click mo iyong CLICK HERE, sa itaas. Sa website ni Juan Guerra, go to Picture number 34, makikita ang dalawang signages. Sa larawan sa itaas, ang nakikita nyo lang ay iyong isa sa dalawang signage, the bottom one, na na-spray-an ng dilaw na spray paint. Iyong nasa itaas na signage na iyan, kahit na-spray-an ng puting spray pait, mababasa pa rin ang NO TRESPASSING na kataga. Hindi natin pwedeng ilagay ang sisi sa railroad company.

yung mga comment na mga foreners dun sa website parang sinabi nila na ignorante ang pinoy ,,,grabe naman na aksidente na nga .

bakit naman walang signage 'yung area na 'yun? dapat may warning signs sa lahat ng possibleng daan papasok sa railway na 'yun. hay naku

PEP, did you have to pay Mr. Juan Guerra money for the use of his picture? If not, can you possibly support or donate to the Los Angeles Fire Deparment fundraising, maybe in Juan Guerra's name, or even JAY-R's or Myra Calove's name. The fundraising is in support of the WIDOWS, ORPHANS and DIABLED FIREMEN FUND. Mayroon silang PORTER RANCH PANCAKE Breakfast on Jan. 24, Whole Foods, 9AM-12NN, Rinaldi St. Porter Ranch. Mayroon rin silang call for volunteers of the BOOT BRIGADE, sakali mang nakatira or may kamag-anak sa Los Angeles area, ang mga mambabasa rito. Nasa blogspot ng LAFD ang details.

hanggat maaari kasi ilaan natin ang sunday for the church. it is the day of worship. mag-iingat tayo sa mga lugar na hindi natin kabisado lalo sa ibang bansa. my condolence to calove family.

Enjoy ako pagsina sweet at dj mo ang nagnasa-salita. Pagdating kina pia, raymond at ruffa, walang dating at boring.

Go GMA! Kapuso rules!

honestly..i dont like how showbiz central make balita..mas ok ang startalk..ok ang tandem ni joey at lolit..pero c pia guanio..prang lagi pupunta sa party at c ruffa mae na sana di nalang ngdamit!

Just a weird thought lang... Parang may bad Omen atang dala ang Lalola. Ilang members ng cast nito ang minalas recently. First, Marky Cielo died. Second, si Jay R with this accident. Third, yung husband naman ni Eula nanakawan ng Big bike. Fourth, si Keempee de leon nag break-up sila ng non showbiz gf nya.

Or maybe pure coincidental lang ang lahat...

Thanks God at ligtas si Jay-R.

hi, meryl.

we have gotten permission from LAFD on using the photo above.

...involved.quot; It is unclear why the 5 were on foot in the tunnel, and to do so is in fact illegal, but quot;the survivors [are] not expected to be charged.quot;

wa ako ma say but sad ako.. sabi nga sa spiderman na carton na napanuod ko 'curiosity kills the cat' buhay talaga di natin masabi kung kelan babawiin at kung sa paanong paraan..

Authorities are investigating the death of Myra Theresa Mina-Calove of Woodland Hills, who was struck and killed by an Amtrak train inside the tunnel near Chatsworth Park yesterday evening.

According to MyFox Los Angeles, Mina-Calove, 32 previous reports said 45 or 25, was apparently quot;walking with her husband, her two sisters and a friendquot; inside the tunnel when the Pacific Surfliner train that originated in Goleta bound for San Diego carrying 400 passengers came by.

The LAPD say the woman quot;was struck in the head by a grab-bar on the train,quot; and they believe it's possible that quot;when the five saw the train coming, they may have panicked and run back into the tunnel instead of out toward the train.quot;

No one on board was hurt, however the train could not resume service for over two hours following the accident. According to Amtrak's Vernae Graham, quot;[their other area route] The Coast Starlight was delayed by the incident but not directly i

di ba nila alam na halatang daanan ng train ang tunnel? kasi bago ka makalapit sa tunnel me makikita ka na sa lupa ng ano bang tawag dun daanan ng gulong ng train..tapos me warning pa na dangerous..

na mention dyan sa video na yan na quot;not only is it dangerous to enter a train tunnel but it is also considered a crimequot;.

just saw the news about it. if you want to see it google: abc7 chatsworth tunnel

Sorry to hear about this.
The sign says even with all the grafitti...No Trespassing...baka kasuhan sila.

meryl...PEP is not a cheap website that will result to irresponsible journalism..your comment is offensive to this site. hope you'll be enlightened with this post from the LAFD site as i paste it here:

I am so happy they are LEAVING. No longer the MARINE 1. Goodbye BUSH! Can you believe a senator taking the train to work? Si Biden pala, nag pa public transpo, nag te tren, kahit na senador siya noon, from Delaware to DC, everyday. TREN lang ang konek dito sa article na ito.

i meant pep had the ok...typed thok instead oooppsss

oh i see...so pep had thok on all those pics. that's good though..at least pep is protected.

i agree with meryl 129! i saw this pic through the original website and showed copyright of so and so...how did PEP get this clear copy? just wondering???? whatever happened to these people should serve as a warning to all not to go into some strange looking place like that. we all get curious but everyone should be very careful. it's so sad that things ended this way for them. they should've never gone in that tunnel to begin with..i'm pretty sure they knew trains go through it but probably still got so curious to the point they dared themselves to go in anyway. who knows. i doubt the company is liable for anything..i don't don't think that they Jay-R and friends can even pursue a case even if they tried cause this was all voluntary. sorry it ended in tragedy.

Is it too much, to ask our own government for TRANSPARENCY too? Maybe post some FLICKR pictures? Where we can post our comments, too? Anyway, FAREWELL TO BUSH, on board the Executive Helicopter.

kakasuya, thanks for the tip. I google searched FACEBOOK and MYRA THERESA CALOVE. She is gorgeous. I also saw the FACEBOOK picture of M. ELIZA CALOVE, kasama niya yata si Jay-R sa picture.

Ways they can honor the loved one who died, is by them educating the public, even if they start from their own families and friends. Sa atin man sa Pilipinas, ang mga trasportation authorities, nahihirapan sa ating mga Pinoy, because we have a penchant for not observing transportation and traffic rules. Another, if they feel the Los Angeles Fire Department treated them and their dead love one with the best treatment ever, they and their friends and family can support fundraising activities of the LAFD to benefit the widows and children of firemen. The firemen put their own safety on the line everyday, to save lives and properties. They do not care if you are sikat or not, brown, white or black, rich or poor. For them, each life is priceless.

meryl..fyi pep asked permission from the owner of the picture. the picture is copyrighted and pep bought the right to the pix. don't we have the right to see the pictures and the people from the US has? you are really out of line with your request. pep has the right to post the pictures because they responded to their readers and it's their duty as a website with integrity and transparency to bring the true story and posting the pictures which is also posted in the LAFD website. Check the comment on that picture in the LAFD site and you will see PEP's request to post the picture and the reply of LAFD.

crstalgale, may schedule ang tren sa pagdaan doon. anybody can easily download da sked fr a website, even download it in your cellphone. Maybe the others seen walking in and out of the tunnel, they know the train schedule. Meryl, PEP got permission. See the request of PEP in the FLICKR site of LAFD, it is under the picture captioned UNDERSTANDABLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE, sa set of pictures na 011109-0858. Despite the compassion, let this also serve as a teaching moment. We can always share this with our cousins or siblings or pamangkins abroad, kung saan may mga train tunnels, and where people can be adventurous. Let us remind our love ones, to also give respect to other people's properties. Pag sinabing NO TRESPASSING, do not trespass. Huwag basta basta susunod sa mali, kahit na maraming gumagawa noon. Just do the right thing, even if no one is looking.

PEP, as a respect to Jay-R, his friends and their families, alisin or palitan ninyo naman ang litrato. They are grieving/coping and posting this picture is not going to help them. Moreso, the picture taken was not property of PEP and I doubt that you had permission to post this from the LAFD site. This picture is a reminder of what happened that fateful day. The link with the pictures you provided earlier was enough but posting the picture in your website is wrong because it is not your work.

I was wondering why the group didn't know about anything about Chatsworth tunnel.D ba may accident lang last September 2008,2 trains collided.I'm sure yung mga lalake sa group ang nagyaya na pasukin ang tunnel.I feel so sorry for the family of the girl who died.May her soul Rest in Peace.

yung mga bata na nakita nila at babae na may dalang bata, parang nakakatakot naman. i mean paanong may mga bata don sa loob ng tunnel na labas-pasok considering na yung lugar e di naman regular na puntahan ng tao. saka imagine na lang kung ano kaya yung ginawa nilang 5, dumikit sa wall?

condolence sa calove family. simpleng bonding time na nauwi sa tragic accident.

If you search for LAFD, FLICKR view the picture with caption: DOLOROUS DOCUMENTATION, look at the sign, kahit na vandalized with white spray paint, you can read NO TRESPASSING. The sign below it is sprayed with yellow paint, and that is the sign you can see in the picture above.

would anyone think of running, or hugging the wall of the tunnel, like a house lizard or butiki, if caught inside a train tunnel when train is coming already? In NYTimesDOTcom, search for this article: MAN IS RESCUED BY STRANGER IN SUBWAY TRACKS. Published Jan. 3, 2007. 20 year old guy had seizure, fell off the platform into the space in bet. rails. Train's headlights can be seen already. 50-yr old Mr Autrey, who was with his 2 daughters, made a split decision to jump in bet. the rails.He layed down on the man, pressed the two of them in a space of roughtly one-foot deep. Five train cars rolled over them, from the time the brake was applied. His knit cap was smudged with grease by the passing cars, inches above him.

never play with evil..Myra RIP

i saw the photo of myra in facebook, she's so pretty not fat..

gabi4ever, dahil sa PANIC, siguro they tried to RUN AWAY from the train. Instead of running to the nearest point out of the tunnel, which could mean running towards the train. Nearest exit, or outrun the train. Sa eroplano, when flight attendants give the safety reminders, they tell passengers to LOOK FOR THE NEAREST EXIT. It may be behind the passengers.

.. and it could be bcuz its too dark in the tunnel, hindi din na estimate ni Mayra how far she was from the train. And as you know if you are standing too close to the train it will create enough of a vacuum and its possible too that bcuz of this Mrya lost her balance.

dabogs7, stupidity is a harsh word to say.. id rather say CURIOSITY could kill.. and thats what just happened.

It could be that Myra got disoriented... instead of running away from the incoming train, she ended up running towards it. Or she panicked and could not move fast enough and was left behind by her husband
