I worked in rail for a bit, and almost got hit once. Saw many many near misses. People think "how could you not notice a train roaring towards you?!". But these things can happen with alarming ease.

Same thing with airplanes. They might be gigantic and loud as fuck, but they can still sneak up on you easier than you might think.

Thats the thing, they are loud when standing besides, they arent loud when youre standing in front.
