Thank you for this video. I had seen a presentation of the Graniteville train crash from the Chief Information Officer of Avondale Mills including the original 911 call and the HAZMAT video from the first responders. This crash has always shook me and I actually visited this site earlier today (5/25/2010 @ 12:45pm). It was eerily haunting to walk this site and shoot the IT builing, train switch, and tracks.. I have some video and will post soon... Again, Thank you for this video...

was this the location where the train in the siding accidently left the siding switch lined for the siding and then the train on main came hustling thru there and hit the siding train head on??

My uncle was one of the Norfolk Southern accident investigators that investigated the crash. Also I have alot of family that live in the area, Beech Island, S.C. just over the Savannah River.
