Why was there a camera, complete with audio, on top of the car to record this? Is it piped in to the engineer so he can monitor the cars behind him? Why that particular car?
Did the engineer stop the train, or was it automatic? Was there any way he could have avoided the tank car plowing into the camera car? How close was the camera car to the engine? Or was the camera mounted on the back of the engine?
Good thing whatever was in the tank car wasn't explosive...
I hope nobody got hurt, because I don't want to feel guilty about being fascinated by this video!
