[JasonSix78]

:Q Nice footage!

[amdhunter]

damn. That must've been fun though.

ehhh so the wind blew the one car off the tracks... not very exciting

 

[IronWing]

So that's what the weather dudes/babes mean by "storm track".

Except for the part where the rest of the train catches up with the front.

 

[Crusty]

:Q is right.

Holy shit!

 

[wyvrn]

Where is the tornado, exactly?

 

[Miramonti]

That's insane!

Now I know why the tanker cars are bullet shaped in the front, lol.

 

[Baked]

Would've been a lot better if the camera's pointed towards the front.

 

[sao123]

so where was the tornado?

 

[JasonSix78]

Look at the top left of the video window and you'll see the effects of the tornado on the trees. It helps if you click the fullscreen button at the bottom right of the video window.

What's up with that site? It's the second time it just makes firefox lock up completely and it takes lot of effort to do end task on it. Need to do it like 20 times before it actually closes.

Didn't notice anything different here, no problems. (ff3.5)

[imported_Champ]

Looked to me like a lot more than one car went off the tracks.

At about 1:15 you can see that it's dragging a whole line of derailed cars off to the left side. The large length of empty track behind the train when the one car first derails, followed by the rear cars eventually catching up, would indicate that the large length of empty track was once occupied by cars that are being pulled by the train

Do you have noscript?

 

[lxskllr]

I'd be interested to see how they clean up a mess like that.

Actually yeah, is there a known issue with that site? Normally I just need to allow but it does not lock up like that.

 

[cliftonite]

Damn that was crazy.

I was hoping to see the train get sucked up into the air like a roller coaster. But I suppose that's pretty difficult for such a heavy train.

An EF5 can toss boxcars around like beer cans with ease.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Damn, that's unreal.
