Driver captures train derailment in Oklahoma

"Yup, that just happened."

[iamonlymeme]

That's called, "were not getting home this way"

[Redbikemaster]

That was the calmest derailment I've seen in a long time

This is why you need to keep a safe distance from tracks when you stop for a train.

[onecrazytruckinfarmer]

They didn’t record that for our enjoyment. They recorded it because they know the camera man always survives.

Lack of maintenance is what's causing all of this.

[conrioakfield]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you do not nose up to the gates, as if your proximity will make them lift sooner.

[ekrwy]

That’s called “precision scheduled railroading” otherwise known as “lack of maintenance”.

[rapturebound]

Had that been on fast track it would have been unbelievably destructive and potentially deadly for those folks that caught it on camera. They handled it all really well 👍.. good video!

[skipdreadman]

A dad educating his kids on railroad operations. What a warm moment!

These are the type of people you want around during an emergency. Calm and collected instead of in hysterics.

[dachemurray]

This was the calmest ”I’m about to die in a fiery explosion” I’ve ever seen!!!

[marksc]

People if you’re ever close to something like that .. backup .. get as far away as possible… never know what the trains hauling .

[williamvaughan]

That's why you never stop too close to a train.

[argonunya]

Railroad inspectors NEED TO GET ON THE JOB!

[cb]

Three train derailments per day on average.
All across the USA.

[otisjohnjr.]

That's called poor maintenance. Most of the railroad companies are negligent, cost lives, but they are not usually held accountable.

[calj]

So lucky that train was travelling slowly. Happy you were not injured

[byrw]

That's why I don't like to be sitting very close to the tracks in my car. You never know what can go wrong. I sure don't want one of those things blasting through me.

[curtdaddy]

Man is calmer than me I would have been getting out of there.. who knows what's in that tank

[RickyBrise-cksp]

This is the first time in my life that I have seen a derailment live, quite impressive!!! Thanks to the author 👍
