Reply to "Train/Car Crash As Entertainment?"

It's not for entertainment, it's for education!

Many years ago I produced several of these staged car/train collisions for Operation Lifesaver. That included one on the Wheeling & Lake Erie in Canton where we hit an old Cadillac at 40 mph! On that one we staged the car only part way across the crossing, so the locomotive would hit it a glancing blow. That old Caddy was tossed aside like a toy and spun around about four times.

And THAT is the point! A 10,000 ton train running into your car is the equivalent of you driving over a soda can in your car. What happens to that soda can? It gets crushed and you hardly feel it.

Do YOU want to be the soda can?
