Re: Guy Gets Destroyed by a Train
I work on rail infrastructure and there's been a few times when I've been surprised by the sudden presence of a Pendolino thundering past. Usually you hear the track "singing" long before a train arrives; sometimes you just don't! One time, I was remembering my Mum telling me that she and her childhood friends put pennies on the track to squash them. I'm pretty sure they would have done it in the vicinity of a station with a train slowly trundling past, anyway... I placed a 2p on the track and stood about 3 metres back, a train came past at about 70mph and as soon as it hit the coin there was a loud bang. After the train passed, I found three copper "stains" on the track and half the coin buckled against a rock. Never again! I'm fairly sure the driver would have felt the bump from it too! |

Re: Guy Gets Destroyed by a Train
Fake? Real? Hard to tell. In the U.S. trains are required to slow down at crossings. Still, lethal accidents are common. Some guy just got ran over on Christmas Eve in my community. Walkin' his dog on the tracks, all Christmasy in the mountains. Poof.

Re: Guy Gets Destroyed by a Train
I think the whole thing is "skipping" its probably a file size thing on the in car camera. If it wasnt for insurance companies offering cheaper insurance for those with on board camera's we wouldn't be seeing such wonderful little clips like these :)
