Looks like the locomotive may be a safe place during a tornado. Notice the first head car turned over while the locomotive stayed upright. Definately better not to be moving. The force of the cars moving in behind you is probably greater than the tornado itself.

Surely that train was pulling a bunch of empties. I would think that many loads off the track would have a bigger impact on the loco itself. I mean the way the first few fell off the side. I would think loads would have pulled the engine over with them.
That tank!!! HOLY SH!T!! It took me looking again to be sure that thing was not on the rail.

I can just hear some of the dumbass questions the crew got asked.......and the officals trying to blame each other for the derailment......I guess speed...throttle and amps don't really matter here......oh I forgot...it's always the crew's fault.....

The onboard camera keeps recording even after the engine is obviously stopped.

Well if I were in the second unit taking a shit, then came out to see that tank car shooting sparks and heading for me, I'd be right back in the bathroom so I dont have to change my pants later.
All sitting there like "I hope its not flammable, I hope its not flammable"
