Beware or the Media can really run you over

Seven people were killed in Uruguay after a train they were pulling as part of a contest ran them over during the taping of a popular television programme, authorities said.

Eleven people were injured, some of them seriously. Friday's accident in the city of Young took place while 200 people were pulling the train, which gained too much momentum and caught up to the group.
About 3,000 students were watching when the accident occurred.

The programme, "A Challenge to the Heart", was designed to raise money for charity. Pulling the train was supposed to be a test of strength in the contest.


So next time you get a chance to feature on Reality Tv - make sure you have no death wish for the world to see you killed live on TV.
