Train vs Tornado Just found this on youtube......Hard to belive sometimes what mother nature can do :eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azV5b...ture=topvideos |
i was expecting a large explosion after the tanker collided, glad it didn't happen. |
skip to 1:10 of the video if you don't want to wait. |

Amazingly the camera didn't get destroyed by a flying piece of debris. WOW. |

Didnt look like anything was wrong until all the cars fell over... |
that was gay i actually thought the train would fly up in the air |
^ LOL i was totally expecting that too. Like it would get caught in the tornado and spin the train round and round. |
^Great minds think alike! I was expecting that too! |

Because of the lighter mass of the engine and cars up front, it stops right away, the rest of the train has a much greater mass and plowed on through even with full brakes. Lucky that it was a light tap and not worse. |
That is an old video... happened on the Harvard sub, Illinois in January 2008. Google 'Tornado derailment harvard sub -video' if you want some pictures and information about it. Quote:
The issue is the tank car is sliding... the wheels aren't actually on the rails anymore, and therefore there are no brakes with which to stop. |
Anxious moments when the tanker car was coming up... and even though it looks like it's travelling so slowly, that thing ain't stopping! It's got a hell of a lot of momentum to keep driving it forward... |
wow..... nature |
u never mess w/ mother nature yo |

I never said the engineer dumped his air. I'm stipulating that air was lost during the derailment when the hoses separated. By lighter mass, I meant the tanker and all of the cars behind it. |
thats it? |
thats pretty cool |
nicee, surprised no explosions |
