train crash head on

[geierstunde]

This is never 90 miles an hour! they are actually 20-30 mph fast, the traindriver is still able to jump from the engime...

[talkingpens]

i bet the fat controller was behind this..

[DONOTCALLMEBILL]

why would you want to crash a train???

[nyc14gauge]

This is from when America used to be fun.

Universe!!!

Mythbusters proved that "combined speed" does not yield a higer degree of damage.

Two objects, each travelling at 100 mph, will be subject to the exact same force and suffer the same damage as if just one of the objects would hit a wall at 100 mph.

[KeeperOfTheKitten]

I think the reason for all the confusion about the speed of the engines here, is because of the staged train crash at "Crush", Texas in 1896. In that instance, the trains really did crash at a combined speed of at least 90mph. This film is not of the "Crash at Crush" - the photographs and the written accounts that exist from "Crush" show that the trains were formed of locomotives pulling boxcars and flatcars, whereas this footage is clearly just the locomotives, and is not the same crash.

But will they blend?

[abcpat100]

@Theblackhell1 I hate these comments, Will it blend? You think by posting this you will get lots of people liking your comment. Seriously its not funny and never will be.

[SuperWoocash]

SOOO...... am I supposed to believe that the dude in the clip jumped out of a train at 90 mph and ran beside it? DAMN!! People can rune 90 mph?!?!?! That was the FASTEST guy I've every seen in my life!! Even if we go along with skyflyer900 and assume that the COMBINED speed of both engines were 90 mph.... that would STILL mean that the dude was running at 45 mph right? DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN that's fast!!! LMFAO!!!

[fireburst102]

@ironbear2000 its obvious the trains gained speed. plus its also obvious the trains were going faster than the man when he jumped out. And, the man ran diagonal towards the camera so it gives it the illusion that he's running close to the speed of the train.

[NarrowGauge87]

Guy jumping out at last second FTW.

[greenmatrix151023387]

head on collision

[kirbyfan600]

why did they do that?

[farmboi1973]

90 MPH my ass

[thediremoose]

All aboard the Failroad!

[JanitorMaster]

Is there any further information about this footage?

[RedLego391]

See what happens when you drink and drive?

[toyotaprius79]

Now those trains couldn't get to 30mph

[DontScatter]

that was The Great Crush Crash if im not mistaken

[Telos41]

@DontScatter Nope, the Crush Crash was in 1896, three carriages were on each train, and the boilers ruptured. This was a similar staged collision but not the same one.

[honchomike563]

epic fail!

[RikterZilla]

Cool

[abanyai123]

back when men were men.  Ahhhhh

[2fast4u510]

when i grow up i am going to buy two trains and crash them>:D

[bluedotgunfilms]

what would those old Engines be worth today..odd how we toss things and years later wish we had them back..

[LibertyBell711]

Is that a test?

[Chabelo54]

Kinda.

[BlueOceanBelow]

The vid is supposed to be in black and white with no sound.

[pinkislush99]

that clip was on extreme trains, on the circus train i think 8-)

[jackvh]

that is not 90mph. no way in hell is that 90mph

[skyflyer900]

90mph is probubly the combined speed

[aginlae]

@skyflyer900 All we really need is 88!

[marioman19991]

@aginlae haha

[cngowens]

cool

[skyflyer900]

nice
