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?
The story I read said the first truck crossed and was stopped not leaving
enough room for the second truck. Why he was stopped was not stated. In a
parade, there are often sirens and horns blowing so the crossing gate bells
would not be heard.
