This one you'll like:

June 14, 2006- BNSF Railway (BNSF), Kismet, California An eastward mixed freight train, ( USBDPKC 4479, 4715, NS 8967 AND 4576 ) operating at 22 mph, struck the head-end of an opposing westward unit train (M RICBAR 4059, 1065, NREX 5473, FURX 8110, 2437, 7065 and 997) operating at an estimated speed of 30 mph. As a result of the collision, all crew members of both trains were taken to a local hospital with injuries, a total of 7 locomotives and 17 cars, including 1 hazardous material and 1 tank car derailed

If you watch carefully, the train which ran the red light (not the train with the dash cam which you are watching), you can see the crew bailing out of the train.

It says that video is a response to the first one.

Ya that was one hell of a crash i saw that video last year and it is amazing the crew lived. Also the NTSB report was also a decent read as far as Governement reports go. Imagine being the crew bailing out what they were thinking! "Tuck and roll, Tuck and roll" lol

I think my mind would be racing to fast to come up with tuck and roll... I can think of two of the most eloquent words that would be repeatedly screamed in my mind and from my mouth.

The first word is "oh"
