Update: Trucking company upset the train didn't swerve? https://www.trains.com/pro/freight/class-i/trucking-firm-countersues-union-pacific-blames-crew-and-crossing-design-for-fatal-texas-crash/
Whats the point of the bike and pickup if that happened 😂😂😂
Thanks for obtaining that profile view of the road!
OK I can see what's happening here. Another illegal immigrant was given a trucker license and he parked on a train track, and the issuers don't want to get caught so they blamed it on the victims and deflected with a whole lot of irrelevant non-sense.
That would be the escort’s fault. The escort has to go through the state the DOT the railroad and everything to do that.
That "Pileup" of the Cargo Wagons reminds me a bit of a train catastrophe near the city of eschede in germany
This is where some drones would be useful for coordinating when searching through a mess like that.
This was obviously a communication issue with the escorts and the railroad
Worst escort ever!!
Was there any question raised about the train speed allowed at that crossing? 70 mph seems high for such a busy crossing with buildings near.
in this 20 minute video we saw the police do pretty much nothing. The focus officer just walked around and spouted non-sense nearly the whole entire video. Additionally, they seem to extremely worried about diesel. One even said "It could go up at any time". Lol, no. Its not. Out of all the things that could spill on a train, diesel is the most preferable. Environmental issue? Yes. Explosive issue? Not really.
I actually love the local color of the Soanish speaking civilian and the bilingual officer! I’m a Texan and Spanish is definitely prominent here. As it should be with our history!
What a shit situation. From the brief description at the end, it sounds like all the operators involved were doing their job to the best of their abilities. The fault seems to be a series of system failures, perhaps mostly on the state's responsibility? Godspeed to the train operators that passed, but also to the one that survived, along with the truck driver and his support crew. Hell of a fucking situation, thinking you've done everything by the book, only for the book to fail you so catastrophically like this.
Man I love all the accents in this video haha
watching that 91k pipe go flying with cars that close is actually insane. drivers nearby have no situational awareness
The analysis at the end was amazing, thank you! Crazy to think they applied the e-brake for 11 seconds and only dropped 3 mph
Ok that train was going waaaaay to fucking fast for being inside a town…..
It baffles me that if a trailer takes more time to cross the intersection than the time for the signal warning, that it's not LEGALLY required for there to be contact between the truck and the train.
Also, the weight/size difference is SHOCKINGLY stupid. I don't care if it's a 1lb load — if it's big enough to get caught on a slope like that, there ABSOLUTELY should've been communication, no questions asked.
It shouldn't even be a possibility for something like this to happen.
Was this in Mexico?
Office talking with his partner at 1:30 minutes in the video is saying ( trucha con ese wey it might tip over) his speaking slang Spanglish what that means watch out out with that one fool it might tip over
Can you imagine the insurance claim on this one?
there should be a stopped vehicle sensor to direct trains to slow down within 2 minutes of the crossing ideally, i also feel that a crossing of that size should certainly have a slower speed limit. But i'm no engineer, nor a train operator so idk
Woah, this reminds me of Bourbonnais Train Crash. (If those are unaware, that accident was involving a semi-truck and an Amtrak Train. This derailment is similar if not identical to that incident as well.)
Poor crewmen never stood a chance.
