So what happens when something weighing 100's of tons encounters an immovable object?

oops! don't think that will buff out!

Now imagine 1000's of tons! :Q

I wish they had film of those head-on train crashes they used to manufacture.

Needs more allowable compressive stress.

what are those plunger things called that the trains bump into?

 

[amdhunter]

Damn, I didn't expect that much damage from such a slow speed.

I was thinking it looks like the one from CoD/CoD 2. All Soviet train stations look alike.

I've almost seen this happen - several times.

People are CRAZY when it comes to right of way and they think we can stop/move on a dime!

 

[pontifex]

so they don't have people watching to make sure this doesn't happen? wtf is up with the camera dude not doing something?

or was this done on purpose.

 

[drinkmorejava]

so would I be able to approximate the train car as a hollow metal beam with both ends pinned giving Le=L?

lol, i hate myself

The way the camera was setup I would think that this was a test.

Um, wtf is a 200lb camera guy going to do to stop 100+ tons of weight from stopping in time? Put out his hand and expect the train to stop? It takes over a mile for a regular freight train to come to a complete stop once the brakes are applied. :roll:
