Subtitled in written Arabic?  Was it perhaps supposed to be a safety warning for TV in some Middle Eastern country? 

If it was an indictment of NS' safety record, well, that's unfair and a slur.   --   a.  s. 

 

Not really the ns keeps setting the record for the most crossing accident its not ment to be a slur but its also something we cant control. In video number 9 that engineer new that wreck was unavoidable and was in oh shoot ( cleaned up) mode hey was layed down on the horn in emergency and probley hiding on the floor.ive hit a few 18 wheelers several cars people these are just reminders of what happens.

The farther you get from youtube videos on RR subjects the wiser and happier animal you'll be.

Number 10 is simply an improperly secured load, or one that was subjected to some incredibly bad handling.
