HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
Don’t they have weather data on modern trains? If the dude/dudette knew there was severe weather in the area, wouldn’t you stop the train and wait it out? Yeesh. But that was fucking nuts.

The dispatchers monitor the weather along train routes.
Apparently (from the story i found), the dispatcher stopped the wrong train…. and this one kept chuggin along.
I about freaked when I saw that tanker car comin down with sparks flying and shit….

two things:
1) why is there even a camera sitting on top of the car filming nothing but the front of the car behind it?
2) it’s crazy you don’t even see the tornado on the video. there obviously IS one but you don’t see a whirlwind at all

Locomotives built within the last 9 or 10 years or so now have one of them "event cameras"....
The camera was inside a locomotive, facing backwards (like you often see with multiple locomotives)
Kinda like in police cars, where it is always recording…. but saves it to a “black box” when a significant event happens (sudden air pressure loss, emergency brake, derail, etc.)

That text exchange is hysterical...
… of course, that probably would have been my reaction too. The moonwalk thing was kind of cool until you realized that the guy doing it with his fingers was better than probably 90 percent of the people doing it with their feet. Just leave that one to MJ, ok?

there were only 6 or 7 good ones: two MJ full dressups and I think the rest wore socks
the fingers, dolls, pets, flipflops, animation, & pulling an object back with string = LAME!!

If you can't do it...
… don’t put yourself on an internet video thinking you can. And if I tried to make my cat moonwalk, you are damned sure Lucy’d chomp me one in protest. Which, again, is probably funnier to watch than those videos. Cool concept, though.
