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

If you bothered to look, there are plenty of other sources
for the same story that all say basicly the same thing.
As do witnesses.



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.

You'd lose that bet. According to the NTSB, the train
was going 62 MPH at the time of the crash.



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


Apparently the same thing that happens in so many
other accidents. The driver made some very dumb
decisions. Exactly why may be determined later or
never. The lights and gates were apparently working,
some witnesses say they saw the gates go down on
top of the truck.

I only wonder why more people didn't jump off.
