Raw Video: Georgia Train Hit Mine, Officials Say

[StandingRedPanda]

I thought a train hit a coal mine in US.

[WhindSoull]

I thought this was talking about the US *state* of Georgia. I was like, "Who the fuck is mining train tracks in the Southern US??"

[azimuth361]

That Georgia's always on my mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine.......

[aviomaster]

This is what happens when you mess with Russia.

IF KOSOVO can be independent why can't Ossetia and Abhazia who were not part of Georgia since 1992.

[bug691012]

0:17 looks like the little rascals...

[WirlWind494]

They hit a mine? As in the mine's in the ground that explode, or the ones you dig ore / gems out of? o.0

[bengacris]

@WirlWind494 an explosive device

[WirlWind494]

@bengacris Jeez, didn't know there were random mines lying around Georgia lol.

Then again, I'm not exactly an American history buff.

[filetitan]

@WirlWind494

lol This is about the post soviet Georgia and not the US state.

[WirlWind494]

@filetitan OH! XD NOW it makes sense!

[filetitan]

@WirlWind494

=)

[XoomOxify]

@WirlWind494 Well, seeing as how the track was built upon the same ground where the train hit the mine, I very seriously doubt that the mine was just laying there. It was probably put there, because I am pretty sure that that train wasn't the first one going through that area. Some kid trying to get a school delay or some shit like that.

[ElPINGAS9000]

America likes to civily demolish stuff THE X-TREEEEEEEEEME WAAAY.

[Spacek531]

A mine? WTF?

[redmilkcrate]

If that area is mined or suspected of being mined. Then what the hell are they doing wandering around all over the place, and trawling hoses through the undergrowth.

They may have been better to cordon the whole lot off and attack it from the air. If a personnel rescue is in order then consider sweeping a route directly to the cab using metal detectors. But beware the track forward of the train may be additionally mined. Rear of the train would be clear, but the fire would prevent access.

[redmilkcrate]

Further, if you had mined that track in order to prevent a resupply, perhaps during a recent conflict, then you would have mined around the area as well in order to prevent enemy from escaping, or regaining the asset you had stopped.

[redmilkcrate]

However you may only mine the track, set up a couple of trip flares, and have an ambush set. But they'll be long gone now.

[Indyrail]

Wrong Georgia. If it was Fulton County, they'd already have tailgaters using the fire for serious barbequing.

[EvilRabbiMAn]

this video needs some Trololo

[porkchopz28]

What are you going to pull the tanker with ?

[robertgift]

It looked as though there was another engine on the south end of the train where there were some remaining cars upright on the track.

[gibbs1015]

You dont know anything about that region do you.

[hoodstar310]

because there communist

[robertgift]

1. Get water on those remaining tank cars to keep them cool and prevent a BLEVE

2. Pull those upright tank cars away.

3. Forget the fire on the ground - let the fuel burn off = less pollution.

[slambert00]

Absolutely correct! We learned the exact same thing when i started as a firefigther.

[sniperx911911]

some one who nows there stuff very smart

[clarko95]

As you can see, they never did that. And people wonder why they lost the war.

[dodgechargercrazy]

@robertgift less pollution on the ground but more pollution in the air

[TheKingKrowns]

@robertgift there taking the fire off the ground cause itl spread dumbass

[lokalexi1]

@TheKingKrowns Who cares if some dry weeds and brush burn off?

Better to cool the remaining tank cars and pull them away.

[TheKingKrowns]

@lokalexi1 your cool

[MarineG5]

Sucks that were also allies of Georgia and so is Iraq. Were eventually gonna be drafted ey?

[crazycatfguy]

Possible they were told by the US they would back them up. Bush1 sent his ambassador to Iraq to tell Saddam the US had no official position on an invasion of Kuwait and then used it as an excuse for war.

[dibblydooda]

The Russians probably have the gas pipeline ready for demolition also. They were seen digging around earlier.

[RedTerror]

it shouldn't have strayed into a mine field - DUH!

[sniperx911911]

very smart actually
