Baltimore wreck, new footage

Fire department news site. First page has 3 new videos of the wreck, including security video showing the truck being hit and the explosion.

Dude didn't even slow down for the crossing, let alone stop.

Wow, the train was cooking. The truck driver was lucky it wasn't his cab that got hit, but still quite the impact. Harrowing moments for the train crew.

Yeah yeah, I realized it was posted after I put it up. Sorry for the repost everyone.

In my defense it is buried in 103 post thread.

Not a problem. I should have posted those Youtube links as a new thread.

That was a cold-cocking that driver will never forget; that was brutal!

That empty box on the head end was in no shape to handle any force like that.

If you look close at the surveillance camera video facing away from the crossing you can see the boxcar behind the locos looks to be derailed and leaning and kicking up dust. Also maybe the truck was spun into the boxcar causing it to derail.

The gray cylindrical covered hopper about six cars behind the units (visible near the trailers at 1:08 in the second video) is the one that would have contained the sodium chlorate that exploded.

Good videos for the CSX lawyers. Shows the stupid sh*t truck driver either didn't look or was trying to beat the train. He's is so lucky his moronic a** is still alive.

Wow.

Amazing that the guys in the videos were just standing around. The guys in the cell phone video didn't even look like they wanted to try and get to the cab to see what happened to the driver.
