I would really hate to wonder what was in that tank car and what was needed to clean it up later.
8500HPGASTURBINEThe train wreck video is amazing. I had to keep playing it to make sure it was real. Thanks for posting that one. Mike

This video has really been making the rounds. Here's the best upload of it, with details in the sidebar about the tornado's path through Illinois. Train Vs. Tornado, Train Loses!

richg1998 You might have missed this one concerning a teenage girl who stopped an Amtrak train not far from where I live. Read the whole article and click on the video link. Near the beginning of the video, the photographer stops the camera and then starts the camera again when he hears the loco horn as it approaches the crossing. The is why a truck suddenly disappears. http://www.gazettenet.com/2009/07/31/videographer-catches-near-miss-railroad-tracks Rich

That video you posted just goes to show that stupidity can get someone in trouble. Imagine what the Amtrak crew had to go through just to get the train stopped.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

This has been discussed the past few days in the TRAINS Magazine Forums, General discussion forum under Train vs Tornado. Right now there is one labeled Teens killed.
csmith9474Are you talkin' about this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azV5bC2br-Q ? There has been a decent discussion in regards to this on the prototype forum.

That was incredible! Worth watching.
Thanks for posting that link, Smitty.

This ones better. It's not even a crash so there's no reason not to watch it. Specially watch for 6:05 and 7:45, I think those are some really neat scenes.
Go to YouTube and search "Best Train vs Tornado" video. You will be shocked on this one.... Thanks, Mark
