That story is so f*cked up you can't believe a word it says.

If that train was moving at 60MPH, there is NOTHING the train crew could have done. It takes over a mile to stop a train at 60MPH.

If the train was moving at 60MPH, that trailer would be a mile down the road, and twisted up like a pretzel. The death toll would be much higher, as in, everybody including the truck driver. From the pictures, looks like some chairs were knocked over.

I bet it was moving at more like 6MPH, not 60.

If the lights and gates were working, what the hell was the truck doing crossing the tracks?
