[The Davy Crockett]

I guess death from smoking was too slow? :giggle:

In any case, this is so silly, I could ALMOST feel sorry for her. h34r:

i can't wait to see this lawsuit. Because you know there's going to be one. And MBTA will cave and give her something, even though they shouldn't.

I don't think that will happen. As the article states.

It is against the law to smoke on MBTA property.

With that in mind I don't think she will be entitled to anything.

Item also says she never actually got the cigarette lit, though. Anyway, reminds me of one of my cousins: Driving to work one morning in her Dodge Dart, radio blasting, windows rolled up, doing her makeup in the rearview mirror. No gate at the grade crossing where she hit a slow-moving SP freight and got away with a totaled car and only a broken leg. Smoke woman and cousin both extremely fortunate.

You wouldn't think so but she very well could be...

Why and how was the train lighting a cigarette?

Don't know how, but I would assume the why had something to do with the train thinking it was a steam engine.
