Default Train hits parade float in Midland TX carrying veterans - anyone gotvideo of this?

Someone somewhere must have video of this. I guess it will be posted to
youtube in the next few days.

Can't even pull off a parade without getting people killed.

===========================================

The first float pulled ahead and successfully cleared the tracks, but
the second float, still filled with people, was smashed by the
locomotive.

Two people died at the scene. Two more died at the hospital.

Ten of the victims are in critical condition. Eight are stable.

The special convoy was meant to kick off as spacial weekend for the
veterans and their families, including an all-expenses-paid deer hunt.

This is a shot of the tragic parade float just moments before it was
wrecked and destroyed by a train:

"died heroically saving his wife" - which is surprising, given her mass.
