DAYUM!!!

Sweet!!!
No pun intended.
So what, both video owners happen upon a truck stuck with only the trailor across the tracks with the arms down? Both get out and shoot it? Both within in what, 15 to 20 seconds to think about it?
Welcome to hollywood.

Since no one was hurt, I suppose it is okay to think of a chocolate truck coming from the other direction. Hmmm, strawberries and chocolate, what a party.

Verbal · 2005-02-17, 08:09 PM

Chop, are strawberries and chocolate all you ever think about? lol. j/k

Actually the video people were there taping that train crossing for a lawsuit. Their claim was that it was a dangerous crossing, lol, I guess they were right.

Strawberry fields forever…

Wow that is crazy thank

no one was hurt ill bet the driver shit his pants.

The strange thing about it is after i watched it the 6th time they showed the train going through the truck you can see the driver getting out of the truck and the people in their cars are sitting there like it was nothing. Now when your truck i broke down on train tracks and you know a TRAIN is coming you get the fuck out of the truck BEFORE it hits. LMAO

Strawberry Jam for all

I love it when city planners put a traffic light in close proximity to a railway crossing. It's just begging for fatalities. Wasn't it just a couple years ago that a school bus stopped ON a rail crossing for a red light at an intersection and a shitload of kids got killed? At least the bus driver lived to be haunted by his idiocy for the rest of his miserable days. If you were in danger of being hit by train or nudging forward into an intersection, which would you choose? I'm guessing most of us would take our chances with getting hit by a few toyotas rather than a freight train.

One thing that I did notice was there was really no reaction from the people in the cars behind the semi & when you look form across the street, there's a truck driving by just before the train hits & he goes right thru some of the debret - you'd think he'd swerve a bit.

UW, that happened in 1995 in Cary not far from my house and it was a real tragedy. The back of the bus was sticking out into the tracks and the driver had no idea. I used to drive by that intersection all the time. Article
