Yeah if you run a forum or are a partner of a mod then you'll get accused of favouritism no matter what the moment there's a disagreement.

Where did ever say that you received special treatment? I never thought that. I was only joking with you in my previous response. You're too sensitive.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the graded crossing was near a curve on the track so line of sight down the the direction of the train's approach is limited.
Given that the chassis and cab of the truck looks reasonably intact, I suspect the collision isn't that violent. The train probably grazed the back of the truck, took the garbage container off the chassis and spun the chassis off the track. In a real high speed T-bone collision between a locomotive and a large truck, the chassis of the truck would be bent into a deep U shape and wrapped around the front of the locomotive. I was just watching the news that it was reported that the gate was down across the tracks when the train was coming. If that was truly the case he may have tried to go around it to beat the train and got hit.
I think maybe you took my post too seriously. Breathe slowly.

100%. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, but maybe I expounded too much on the topic and it came off as a tirade.
On a similar topic to the OP, a couple of teenagers got into a wreck today near my hous. They both died. The local news had a camera talking to one of their dads at his front door, and it struck me how cold we are in our pursuit of juicy disaster porn. It grossed me out.
Sorry for the massive quotes. I can’t be bothered to cut and paste on mobile.

Such a good opportunity gone to waste. Clearly, there is no God. The thought of Paul Ryan and the entire Republican Congress doing flips in the air for 30 seconds is so real right now I can almost taste it.

The "accident" was clearly terrorism.

You can hear the loco's horn for miles. They knew they were on a track, there were two people available to watch for trains.
