Pregnant Texas woman killed by train during photo shoot
Thompson was killed Friday in Navasota while posing for photos on a set of train tracks. Witnesses told investigators she was standing where two train tracks meet. Police said one set of tracks belonged to BNSF and the other to Union Pacific. Thomson was standing between the tracks and watching for an oncoming train from BNSF with her back turned toward an oncoming Union Pacific train. Witnesses said she tried to cross the Union Pacific tracks to avoid the BNSF train and was hit by the Union Pacific train.
She died en route to a local hospital.
Thompson's family shared a photo taken of her on the tracks just before she died. In the photo she poses confidently, smiling, poised on the train tracks. The photos, taken by a friend of a friend, were to be the beginning of a portfolio the young woman was hoping to use in her pursuit of a modeling career.

Technically not a Darwin Award for him. He can still pass on the stupid gene.
Gold Darwin medal for his wife, though. But seriously, once she married this rocket scientist, it was really just a matter of time.
EDITED TO ADD: Oh, damn. I just saw he's a father of two. Well, we can only hope his wife was as faithful as she was smart.
