This is a brief movie about the tragic train crash that killed members of a family in Hammond, Indiana. I originally shot this footage to show my sons (and wife) how dangerous it is to race these trains two blocks from my home. I hope that they will put gates at these railroad crossings soon. Less then a month after this crash took place another man was killed by a train one block away at another crossing not gated.
Sure crossing gates would help but it will not stop people from trying to beat a train across a crossing.People need to be educated about the dangers of grade crossing wrecks. It takes a train that is 110 cars long loaded with coal traveling at 55 mph one and a half miles to stop. He can not stop on a dime. when that train hits that car it is a 4000 to one ratio That is like your car running over a pop can. we need to think.

By Absofsteel 1220022120 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI always liked to stop & watch the trains go by!
"I had to stop for the Train" is a better excuse for being late than any other I can think of!
These tragic accidents occur at traffic lights ordinary stop signs also. Don't they need gates too? Think how easy it is to roll through a red light or a stop sign when your in a hurry. Someone should do something. We drivers should not have to be responsible for driving safetly.

By smartestinUSA [Affiliate User] 1212061569 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe original video of the car racing the train was taken by security cameras and then released to the media and YouTube. The video of the aftermath I shot with my camcorder.

if so why not do something to prevent it
oh! she died too? i've seen this video before, but i thought i heard that only those two children died! i hope that the family can cope for what she did. it pretty stupid what some people would do so that they won't have to wait for a couple of minutes. or even seconds.
By christianguitarist09 [Affiliate User] 1211803114 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOmg, what was she thinking? Got her children killed, too. Shame.
By InnkeeperX [Affiliate User] 1211440130 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSad but important video. Great music too. Hopefully more people will see these and think twice.

By Galaxy2517 [Affiliate User] 1210861586 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNO GATES NEEDED
Signals and bells and trains blowing horns are NOT ENOUGH??
Just obey the existing signals.
Gates are too expensive.
Another Darwin Award winner.
Rest in peace Family <3 =( ...
By linuseriksson [Affiliate User] 1210556697 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt is tragic that her kids had to die....
By burner50 [Affiliate User] 1210003290 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDoesn't matter if it isn't their fault. The fact remains that it is a horrible experience for a train crew. If they did absolutely everything right, they still relive that accident for the rest of their lives.
By TaraBush [Affiliate User] 1209846687 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI know. Once the engineer puts on the brakes it's behind his or her control. I know its not the engineer's fault and just know it hurts them when things like this happen.

By csxES44DC [Affiliate User] 1209830661 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewat a shitty thing to happen on such a nice day
By OMGLOOKiHaveNoName [Affiliate User] 1209562343 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei would wait for the train for 2 reasons:
1. its a hell of a lot safer
2. i enjoy watching trains anyway
plus, csxES44DC, i agree, but its not like they could help it. it takes about 5 min. for a train to slow down if there going a normal speed. but yeah... i would feel bad, but not like it was my fault
