World's Worst Getaway
The Hocking scenic railway train? Honestly, I'm not even sure I can think of a form of transportation more inefficient (the locomotives are from the 1950's) or more likely to result in the hijacker's apprehension.
Read about this ludicrous escape here.
Edited to add: The Athens News has a more complete story.

ah.. you are kidding... right?
it's not used for transportation... in the official sense...
and I'm tired... but hijakers?
Sorry, Paul. I linked to the news article through the title, but my blogger template doesn't make that clear....so I added a link at the bottom.
No, I'm not kidding.
LOL
Now THAT makes MUCH more sense.
Darwin award nominee?
Apparently, they came quite close to winning a Darwin....I heard on the radio that at one point, they had the train on tracks that are used by "real" trains--so they could have potentially encountered a train coming the other way....
They only get a Darwin award for removing themselves from the gene pool. Still a rather humourous story, good thing no one/nothing got seriously hurt.
