Train vs Tornado

This is a video of a train going through a tornado. About halfway though is when the fun starts.

Cliff notes: Tornado owns train.

Another version of the video says it was near Lawrence, IL and happened on Jan 7, 08.

I don't know what would have made me shit my pants more: when the cars flipped off the track or when inertia reared its ugly head and that tanker car came flying up the locomotive's ass (along with the rest of the train)

It is, must have been a huge haz mat clean up, or just got a bunch of fat kids to come clean it up

We had a tanker car full of propane explode a few years back - there were also cars full of chlorine and some other nasty things. They spent quite a bit of time cleaning THAT up.

I can just imagine the engineer's thoughts moments after thanking his higher power of choice that he survived..

"That was SO not my fault... this better not go on my record!"
