Nice vid, shot from the rear motor of the consist. Now here we get warnings and stop our trains, seems odd they never had any there.

We get flood warnings and such but I doubt a verbal tornado warning would get to us in time, at least not the one time when you really need to know.

just watched it via an email in WMV
that way i could blow it up on the screen
gotta say, i did not see that ending comming
heard the air pop and thought, "man that tornado must have skeeered'em"
then the train blows away, and the rest comes running after them.
nuts, plain freeking nuts!!

Im guessing they never saw it coming. Just felt that last impact.

That was an awesome NS ad, the way it just turned sideways and proudly displayed the initials...LOL
