Girl killed while posing for photo at the Seven Sisters clifftop
Why?

Hard to believe they can't feel the ground shake though. I'll bet a lot of accidents could be due to misjudging how fast those trains are moving....For not hearing them, I'll blame the doppler effect......
Why so serious?

This didn't involve a photographer, apparently the student went there by herself and had a couple of passersby take her picture (who were also from her country but apparently they didn't know each other). The way often people take pictures is looking at the person's face and don't always frame the whole person, I don't know if they were looking down at the ground and may not have realized how close to the edge she was getting. (The article in The Independent quoted The Daily Mail tabloid so who knows how accurate this article is.)
I didn't get either why it was mentioned that the sign wasn't in their language, but I don't know where tourists come from that visit there or how practical it would be to have signs in every language possible.
