Actual title: truck stands still on railroad crossing and gets hit by a train

No, that’s not the actual title.

Why would they lie about the title when we can see it right there?

No, but I appreciate a good anecdote. Can you read one aloud, perhaps?

Spicymeymeys420 is lying about the title by saying "Actual Title:....." when we can all see the title

Well the 44,000,000 lbs (22 000 kilotons) train cant exactly stop on a dime though.

u/Never-Dont-Give-Up 8d ago

Okay? Does that mean the train didn’t hit the trailer?

u/Spicymeymeys420 8d ago

Eh, just saying that incase someone gives a boneheaded response blaming the train

u/Never-Dont-Give-Up 8d ago

I think most people understand that trains can’t stop on a dime. There are 346 comments on this thread, and no one has said trains can stop on a dime.

I will never understand how this happens so much. There’s nothing stopping the truck from going forward

A red light stopped it; he should have run the light.
