Videos of the collision and explosion in Baltimore

A friend posted this on facebook and all I have to say is holy cow! The first video shows the truck never even slowing down for the crossing. The train hits it right away. What you don't see that the second video shows is that the first boxcar and bulkhead derails right away and is being dragged.

The second video shows what happens after the crossing. Skip to about :56 seconds in to see the carnage.

Note: you don't actually see the derailment happen, just the first few cars being dragged and a LOT of dust
