There are a million train truck accidents.
I looked through a bunch and didn't find it.
Besides, there were no Youtube indications on the video at all.
I tried to do a favor for those in CF who must deal with rarified bandwidth.

Maybe a bit of gratitude might be in order.

Sorry you misunderstand.

Many (most) cannot see the video the way it is posted.

It is very easy for anyone to upload a video to YT, that is what I suggested.

If you want people to see it, you just post the link, works for all OS, browser, hardware types.

And it would be lower bandwidth not higher.

I am perfectly "lightened", not criticizing, just making a suggestion to help you accomplish what you're trying to do.

Do what you like.

For the tech savvy:

I can’t find the “Be Nice” feature here on CF.

John, who lived in the north of England, decided to go golfing in Scotland with his buddy, Shawn so they loaded up John's minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard so they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

"I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained, "and I'm afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house."

"Don't worry." John said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn and if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."

The lady agreed and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared so they got on their way and enjoyed a great weekend of golf.

But about nine months later, John got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the golf weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Shawn and asked, "Shawn, do you remember that good looking widow on the farm we stayed at on our golf holiday in Scotland about 9 months ago?”

"Yes, I do." said Shawn.

"Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"

"Well, um, yes." Shawn said, a little embarrassed about being found out, "I have to admit that I did."

"And did you happen to give her my name and address instead of telling her your name?"

Shawn's face turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy I'm afraid I did. Why do you ask?"
"She just died and left me everything."

Yeah, I also had probs finding it on youtube, so Thanks, StuM!

BTW... I noticed that from moment of impact to when the train stopped, the tail end of the cargo traveled only about four meters, or about 3/5th of the total roadway diameter. Don't know if the train was already slowing or if there was a REALLY heads-up engineer in control. Methinks the latter.

Just heard there is a new kiss, an Australian Kiss.

It's like a French Kiss but it's Downunder.

What do you do with 365 used condoms?

Melt them down into a tire and call it a good year.

And one for tomorrow....

Why do they name hurricanes after women?

They come in wild and wet, and when they go, they take your house and car with them.
