  1. Is this real or is it AI bullcrap, watch The Forbin Project with Eric Braden, Susan Clark, a remake of the above movie was Eagle Eye, not as good so watch the original.

    1. after two hits like that, the occupant of the cab need a hose, not a shovel.

    2. I'm guessing that a blotter would be called for to soak up the blood...then a hose.

  4. After the derailment notice the bogies hitting the light pole. Many people don't know that train cars are not mechanically attached to the wheels. They are simply held by gravity.

    1. older ones, the ones with yarn boxes, yes.

      Other, more modern ones, are not like that.

  5. I believe First Responders call this DRT, "dead right there".
    Hopefully the first hit knocked him "unaware" as if he wasn't already, before the second train flipped the light switch.

  6. There is a main BNSF line that runs along the edge of our subdivision and after more than 20 years of living next to the tracks, in depth analysis, and statistical evaluation I have reached the following 3 conclusions: 1-The only place you are likely to get hit by a train is on the tracks. 2-Trains can move fast and just because there isn't one there now doesn't mean there might not be in a second or so. 3- If there are 2 tracks there might be 2 trains. I hope these simple rules help. Apparently there are people not aware of them.
