Surveillance video released Friday, July 28th by Amtrak police showing the horrifying incident during New London, Connecticut's Sailfest on July 8th, 2006. An 85-year-old man drives his car straight into a crowd of festival goers as he attempts to cross the railroad tracks to the Fishers Island ferry. Despite the car striking 29 people, no one was fatally injured. US Senatorial candidate Ned Lamont was narrowly missed, although three campaign staffers accompanying him were struck and treated for injuries. The elderly man was charged with reckless driving.

  • i fucking hate videos like this that dont allow you to ff, I MEAN SERIOUSLY GUYS CANT YOU MAKE THE VID SO THAT WE SEE WHAT WE CAME FOR AND NOT 20 MINUTES OF CRAP THEN 2 SECONDS OF ACTION THE 40 MINUTES OF CRAP AGAIN, ARE YOU ALL THIS DUMB THAT YOU CANT EDIT THE VIDEO TO SHOW WHAT HAPPENED??? I SEROUSLY THINK THAT 100% OF YOU NEED TO BE WEARING HELMETS ALL THE TIME.

  • The video is only 1:16 and is EXACTLY what was released by AmTrack. I think the full video is important to establish continuity. I did not post it for those seeking cheap thrills at the expense of others misery. Real people from my area got hurt.

  • People had to be REMOVED from the train tracks this year because they didn't yield to the warning signals and the patrol cops shouting.

    Not to justify that driver, but it seems that it doesn't matter if your feet are on the ground or on a pedal in this town.

  • Yeah! People are really ignorant when it comes to train crossings! The Amtrak police are not consistent enough with how they ticket at the crossings (and with cutbacks its rare to see them around anymore). But seriously people will cross with the gates down and train horns blaring. D_U_M_B
