She probably didn't back up because she saw that the gate arm was down behind her car and she didn't want to damage it. She probably figured that she coud better go forward and around the other gate more easily.
Aside from all the other weirdness attached to this incident, I find it disturbing that this guy evidently sat in his own car having a quiet conversation with himself about what was about to happen but at no time got out of his car to say anything to her. He "gestured to her with his hands to come towards him" He was waiting for her to ask him what to do ? . Really ? I would have jumped out of my car and dragged her away or at least rolled down the window and screamed "get F away from there,run for your life." Weird.
Talk about being detached. Eerily similar to all the people who stepped over the dead body in the West Side doorway the other day with nobody checking to see what was wrong with him or if they could help.
She was perfectly capable of walking away without his assistance. None of this is his fault or responsibility.
Self-inflicted victim of incompetence. She shouldn't have had a driver's license and is responsible for the impalement of 5 innocent people
Many traffic deaths involve some form of incompetent or distracted driving as well. I remember being told in my driver's ed class years ago that we call them "accidents" but most of the time they are anything but an accident.

There plenty of blame to go around for everyone. From the local government, Metro North, bystanders, and the driver. If there one thing this country still does well it is play the blame game.
Hopefully something positive results from this tragic event. Nothing productive comes from pointing fingers.

This is not disgusting. I am sure knowing what happened you'd jump out of the car but if you sat in the car instead of him when it DID happen probably you'd do the same. I'd have done the same probably as it happens so quick.
No, there's really not. The driver is 100% responsible for their deaths
I agree.
Probably millions of cars go thru various crossings around the world. She had the opportunity to walk away as its serious once that gate comes down. They already confirmed that the train was not speeding and the crossings were working properly
