Train wreck consolation prize

Train Wreck Icon

This user earned the Train wreck consolation prize

by failing to reach the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]] because of a general transportation failure.

You fail to reach the meet because your car broke down, you missed your bus, your train was late, your plane was hijacked, your horse went lame, or other transportation failure occurred.

In cases where the mode of transport is human-powered and it is a human who becomes sick, injured, or catatonic, claim the Trail of Blood consolation prize instead.
