    Yea, I saw this last night on the news. With all the camera angles I wonder how no one was able to stop this from happening.

    I saw the video on the late news last night, too. Those were some amazing video shots. :eek:

    I wonder how long that truck driver will keep his job? [​IMG]

    I heard about the video over the weekend but since I'm not using Monopoly Windows (I'm using SuSE Linux), I'm also not running Windows Monopoly Player. Is there a link that has the video in quicktime or mpg or any other format?

    I've tried to see if any of the other various news sites have a QuickTime version but have not seen one yet. I did find one site that had more of the video then most show and you can see the SEMI had a GREEN LIGHT as the TRAIN SIGNALS start to flash to get the track clear but it turned RED quickly and BANG came the hit in seconds. Looks like there is a serious TIMING issue between the Traffic Light, Train Signals and Train Speed that they need to seriously look at.

    :( :( :( :( :(
