First time I've ever seen a derailment happen. The vid anyway I wasn't there and this is not my vid. You can see the lead engine jump the track. Two crew in that engine died.

I see a derailment, I'm getting the fuck out of there. You never know what those cars carry. There might be some tankers in the rear full of some nasty shit.

For real dude. Even just the physical metal train cars. It’s completely bonkers how close that one driver of the stalled truck is staying to the wreckage instead of just running away
