Digitalbanana Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I notice the TV show editted out the other version on YouTube where a guy looks like he was taking a selfie around 45 seconds in instead of helping out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payboy Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 What was that train doing on the tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko kok prong Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hard to see from the vid,but does not appear to be any lights,rail x-ing signs,maybe the driver thought he had time to beat the train across,or more probably was fixated on the road ahead,hope he was okay,but i doubt it,thanks for posting ,pretty spectacular crash.

The news report did say no signaling lights or any warning indicators for a train approaching. Suspect you are right about the driver focused directly in front of him rather than checking the track as they were in pretty close formation.

thaipod Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 How many times does that happen in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 How many times does that happen in Thailand? Probably less often than in the USA, but the USA has a much bigger and busier rail network. It's very fortunate the train didn't seem to be derailed - I hope that the driver was OK. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko kok prong Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Would like to know if the driver was okay,if anyone has info,but as usual it is a lack of safety and anticipation of what could happen,having veiwed the footage a few times,it would appear something is flung from the cab,toward the body of the train on impact,i only hope it is not the driver.
