Misano, Russian roulette for a selfie on the slopes – Chronicle

Rimini, July 25, 2018 – They were armed with a professional camera of those who capture the moment to the thousandth of a second. Otherwise the photo with the whistling train next to their bodies would have moved. It's hard to say how long Russian roulette has been in the footsteps of the four boys, aged between 18 and 21, two boys and two friends. Traffic guards have already pulled them from the embankment just in time. A few seconds later, the Frecciabianca went at full speed. The facts go back to last Sunday. It is 5.30 pm in the afternoon when tourists are waiting for the train at Misano station. The weekend turns at sunset, the international meeting of the Ducati that has colored the city is now over and you start a quiet evening.

Who sits in the station looks at the smartphone and looks upwards sees off silhouettes on the tracks. These are boys about 500 meters from the train station. Take the call to the traffic guards who are nearby. Officers arrive in the area and leave to intercept the youth. The train station of Misano is small, trains stop there a little, but it is still the Adriatic director where the Frecciabianca and the intercity whiz without problems. The agents arrive behind the tracks where the four young people sit. They urge him to come down. They do not go thin because on the tracks off, you can see the outline of a Frecciabianca. He goes fast and in a few seconds he will pbad in front of the agents and the boys. "We're sorry, we did not think we were doing anything wrong," justifies one of them, but it's late. Firefighters identify them. They are between 18 and 21 years old and are not local. Two works in the Riviera in summer, the clbadic season. Two others are just tourists. One of them arrives from Turin. They have cell phones and a professional camera in hand.

Meanwhile, the agents want go up to the end and sweep the social networks to find the images of the four taken this afternoon on the tracks, in order to understand how long time for the pbadage of trains.
