Imagine the conversation from the train conductor I just hit a tank
The train always wins.
SIMPLY FRIGHTENING!
But why was it just sitting there??
I being a Sri Lankan Sinhalese I lived in USA California State Los Angeles many years
I have waited over 30 minutes at railway gates until 4 engines one mile long goods carrying train moves in California State and in Arizona State
Why this Army Canontruck tried to crossed???
The stupid truck driver was the one who parked his truck on the tracks.
GTA Physics worked here
It's high centered
Glad no one was injured. What an expensive wreck. And scary.
The canon says that's a Howitzer not a Tank. Anyway its probably scrap metal now.
Well there goes $9,000,000. of tax payers money.
It certainly says something about how well our trains are made. Not even a 60 ton tank can derail the engine…
How can the train not see the tank at least 1/2 mile or maybe a mile away from where tank was sitting
Entirely the responsibility of the careless driver.
Why would they be in the tracks
That was totally preventable! Driving a truck, never ever stop on train tracks! EVER!
Even the military isn't exempt from being smashed by these freight trains
That's what's coming in November, see the Pole numbers for cameltoe?? She's going to be just like the tank.
Thank goodness & Spirit, the driver was able to get out of the truck & away from the tracks in time! For a minute there, I thought the truck driver had used the train to off himself, or herself. 🙏🏽💜🖖🏽💜🙏🏽
Nothing happened to the front of that train! Why did he put the truck so close to the tracks? there was enough room behind him to back up.
I would really like to hear that conversation with the truck driver and his dispatcher.
Well, we now know who wins the battle of the Train versus Tank.
Bet the engineer was pissed.
Now who's pocket does all of that destruction come from???
That driver should of known better than to drive a low to the ground trailer over a RR Track.
Intentionally I guess
One reason they should install disc brake on trains😂😂😂❤❤❤
What the hell was the truck doing stopping on the track? Can’t they phone or message the train station to warn them if they’re stuck!?
That's literally John F Kennedy crashing into the Military Industrial Complex in 1960s
Why trailer driver park between Train line ?
GTA V train irl
🎶 someone’s in TTTTrouble 🤨
Trains can’t stop! Stay off the tracks.
It takes them a mile.
Train VS Tank, omg.
They didn't learn from GTA…
Only in South Carolina would they leave military equipment on a train track!
I hope the engineer and crew are okay!
That’s $40,000,000 in U.S. taxpayers’ money! That driver must work for Harris/Biden! They left billions in U.S. military equipment for their Taliban friends to use.
Lol hit and run
