Standing down range from what amounts to a directional explosion might be a bad idea.

"The crash occurred at about 2 p.m. in Pacoima. "

Body cam shows 14:14, in that time no one could tell the train to slow down? I know they take ages to stop.... but thats still quite a bit of time to play with

Hats off to those cops.

Doesn't work that way. Not even back then here in SA when we had a working rail system. Not possible to get trains to stop in 10 minutes or even to slow down.

1. I doubt there is an established protocol who do you contact when a plane crashes on the runway. Who do the police call? How does the train company knows it is a legitimate call and not a prank call?

2. Well done to the police.

3. I wonder if the pilot insurance is going to pay out for the damage to the train?

4. I watch enough accidents/**** on youtube to know, that you move away from a weird accident scene.

Should be some standard thing to do when something is blocking a train track.

When I was younger, my brother and I caught on a whole lot of kak.

One time he put a big rock on the train tracks. The driver stopped when he noticed the rock, got out and removed it.

This was in Kruisfontein when the Avontuur railway line was still active.

From 1973 the South African Class 91-000 General Electric diesels were introduced, the most powerful 2 foot gauge diesel in the world.

An ex-colleague of mine just claim to be Humansdorp as it was the nearest place on the map. Had to google Kruisfontein. Cannot recall the name of the place he grew up, it was a coloured area though.

So do I. I cannot explain to everybody where it is so just say Humansdorp or Jeffreys Bay

It's likely he grew up in Kruisfontein as 99% of the people from there are coloured (as am I)

It was somewhere else. When I see him I will ask.

Many years back friends of mine had a factory with its own rail siding.

We used to put an assortment of coins on the track, then try use the flattened coins in shops, saying they had gone thru the washing machine and had been ironed - usually with entertaining results.

Lucky man. This would never happen in South Africa! Kudos to the Leo's
