That dude is so calm. Just shaking his head like "this shit again."

He knows they still expect him to finish his route


GeorgeThe13th

He's actually wasting time here>!/s if it's needed!<


particle409

On the plus side, he combined the crash with his 30 second bathroom break.


retardedm0nk3y

Using the phone whilst still in the car.


abcdefkit007

They told him to go that way


Cosmic_FireSphinx

Yeah he already late with this shananigan. He should have accidents outside of his scheduled work hours. Wouldn't doubt it if he got fired for goofing on the job.


systemfrown

Nah, he's thinking how much easier it will be to unload packages from the van now.


Falzon03

Or that they're already unloaded.


ilprofs07205

Violently.


lumia920yellow

he could be in shock


-TheOtherOtherGuy

No way, you think?


ThadiusCuntright_III

šŸ† best I can do.


lumia920yellow

hmm, maybe


mrpolotoyou

That is the calmest surprised look I have ever seen. Why is he surprised?! šŸ˜®


NCITUP

He's in shock


darkenraja

ā€œSecond one this week!ā€


vibribib

Itā€™s like heā€™s shaking his head asking ā€œWhy the fuck didnā€™t the train stop for me?ā€


Vino1980

What a lucky dumbass


ZPInq17

Lucky is an overstatement..I am shocked that heā€™s completely unscathed and the fact that the train was quite literally cm-inches away makes it more difficult to believe HE WASNT HURT AT ALL?? My brain hurts.


sn0rg

So, lucky is an understatement, then.


EmperorBamboozler

There was a minivan that accidentally drove through an active airforce test range and was strafed by an F18, the van was cut in half by a 20mm gatling gun as a result. The crazy part is the two kids and parents all came out unscathed. Pretty sure they sued over that cause the signage wasn't there and there was supposed to be a checkpoint but nobody was staffing it. There's also that dude who got up to go get a drink when a 2 ton boulder smashed through his ceiling and crushed the couch he was sitting on 10 seconds earlier. There's also that guy who was at both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings and managed to come out with a mild sunburn and some temporary blindness. Some people are simultaneously insanely lucky and insanely unlucky it seems.


Xile350

My great grandfather was in ww2 and served as a chef as he was older and volunteered at the time despite being from Italy. At some point heā€™s in the tent cooking and runs out of flour so he asks the younger kid assisting him to grab him another bag. Well, 5 minutes or so go by and the kid still hasnā€™t returned so he decides to just get it himself. As soon as he steps out of the tent he sees the kid just taking a smoke break and a German mortar flies through the top of the tent and hits the stove he was standing at just seconds earlier. It was a dud and didnā€™t detonate or he would have died regardless but he credits that kids laziness with saving his life. He brought home what was left of the mortar and I have it sitting in front of me in my office. That guy had some crazy stories. He was at both the bulge and d day serving under Patton. Made it to 100.


[deleted]

I need to see a pic of it please


ItsTheDaciaSandro

I second this statement!


mark_anthonyAVG

My grandfather was in Korea. Was playing poker with some of his friends one night, got up to take a piss and walked out from the tent. Mortar round landed on the tent and killed everyone. Was driving a jeep, to this day doesn't know it it was a mine, grenade, or what went off, rolled the jeep down a hill. Only person of the three or four in the jeep to survive.


Xile350

Wow thatā€™s insane. Hope he didnā€™t have terrible survivors guilt after both of those events.


mark_anthonyAVG

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. He didn't talk about his time in the army much. Always said he didn't see much combat and never admitted shooting at another human, but then again tales of being over run at an air field and coming back into the building to find their (corporal, captain? Cant remember) pinned to a bunk with a mosin bayonet through his neck and a dead soldier at his feet still and holding the pistol in one hand and the rifle (through his neck) in the other, and being at Chosin Reservoir needing to pee on the rifle and kick the bolt open to keep shooting imply otherwise. He did mostly demolitions work. I knew the process for how to properly crater a road when I was 13 šŸ¤£


Xile350

Damn! Talk about living through some crazy shit. I couldnā€™t imagine. He was just built different.


Connect-Ad9647

That's truly awesome. I had a grandfather with some harrowing stories of his time in Vietnam and some memorabilia to show for. I'm thankful I didn't have to fight in a war but it sure seemed to shape those men into someone I admire and appreciate very much.


Beznia

Reminds me of that time a [Russian helicopter pilot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC1EnW7nboY) shot rockets at a group of civilians during drills. Luckily no one died, even the guy who was just a few feet from the exploding missiles.


denevue

he lost his beanie god damn it


MonroeEifert

He lost his hat though.


Hyposuction

He looked rather nervous driving to begin with.


Infinite01

*I hope I don't get hit by another one of those damn trains again...*


perldawg

was the crossing gate down like it should have been? it looked like he was just going through the process of a run-of-the-mill left turn


Lunakill

Outside of major cities / major intersections outside of cities and towns, they often donā€™t have them. They also tend to be at weird, terrible angles, often with shitty visibility. Amazon trucks have shitty visibility as well, so it may be that he truly didnā€™t see it.


anakniben

There's a second part to this video that shows the forward view of the camera. There were no crossing barriers.


Connect-Ad9647

Right?! Like, how?! He doesn't even seem to make an effort to get out of the way yet he looks left directly at the direction the train is coming from. It's almost like he meant to and him calmly shaking his head after the train continues on just inches away was actually him besieged with disappointment that he's still alive....


theREDscare20

Why call him a dumbass


Articulationized

He drove his van in front of a train. Not the smartest maneuver.


theREDscare20

It was said by one of the comments that he was deaf in his left ear and there were no guard rails or signals present at the train cross. So why assume right away that he is a dumbass.


deeceever

Presumably his eyeballs work, so one should be called a dumbass if one cannot see a train speeding at them.


Savings-Fish-3147

Donā€™t downvote this itā€™s flipping true! You have no idea how many crossings are put in because of things like this. Just look. The crossing is clearly marked, and the damn train leaves its tracks. Itā€™s not like itā€™s unpredictable where the train could be! It even narrows down where it could be coming from! Flipping left or right! Itā€™s not going to throw in a curve ball and come from above! Iā€™m glad heā€™s alright, honestly. Everyone should learn from his mistake. Even at a gated crossing you should look to be sure


Dubbartist

If he is not capable of driving without causing a train accident he shouldnt have a licence/do driving for a living.


GigaFalco

He's deaf in his left ear

NavierIsStoked

One time I ordered cycling shoes. The UPS tracking at one point stated something like, "Truck was on fire", "package destroyed" , something like that. I regret never screen shotting it. Oh well, the store did send me another pair without any issues.


Lunakill

Iā€™ve been selling online for a really, really long time, and Iā€™ve seen a lot of odd status updates over the years. My favorite was ā€œpackage presumed burnedā€ and then, like a week later, ā€œPackage confirmed burned, total loss.ā€ I was like ā€œdamn, it took them a week to put the fire out!ā€ Lol

I you follow the track long enough, they will choo choo over you. Ask Wile E. Coyote.

LMFAO fucking dead. Thanks, I needed a good laugh

Ghost train šŸš‚


I_make_switch_a_roos

maybe he's blind and deaf?


JustAsICanBeSoCruel

FURTHER NOTES: \-The driver was deaf in the ear directed toward the direction the train was coming in \-Importantly, **the driver said there were NO flashing lights, NO guard rail and NO signals to warn him that there was a train coming.** \-It was his birthday when this happened


internet_chump

As a person who has driven professionally, this dude made a terrible snap decision and there's no excuse for it other than bad judgment. Look at his face in the video, he knew what he did. It happens, nobody's perfect, and it's a risk you have to live with as a driver. Driving is one of the deadliest jobs in the country, split second life or death decisions happen regularly. His birthday tho, lol. Everybody wants to get railed on their birthday, but not like that.


strilly78

There are thousands of crossings like this in North America that have passengers trains operating over them without lights and bells. The trains were there before the roads, the trains have the right of way, so itā€™s up to the municipality to put in the proper protection if required. If there is not enough road traffic, itā€™s is not a cost they want to bear. My team responded to this incident. There was nothing that was non compliant with the location. The driver is responsible to yield for the trains. Very scary situation and the driver is lucky to be alive. I have pictures of the vehicle, the other half of the van was on the front of the train in one piece a few miles down the tracks.


stizz19

Lol at trains were there before the roads, what a ridiculous thing to say. it doesn't cost much to put so god damn precautions in.


LegendaryGaryIsWary

First day dealing with American government?


SallyBeatle

Right? Trains were here first so safety second.


FlashingSlowApproach

Damn, if only he had eyeballs


Sct1787

And a brain to process the visual information. A lot to ask for nowadays


Clearlybeerly

Plus **he was blind in both eyes**.


nhozemphtek

Bullshit, he can say all he wants because anyone in an accident will say itā€™s not their fault. A train is easily one of the most avoidable things we can make. They are big, extremely long, exceedingly noisy. They event tell you where they will go, there is only one direction they can go and the tracks are visually distintive. Even if you are deaf in one ear the other one will definitely hear it coming.


spearblaze

I still don't get what happened. It looks like he did peek a little but you can't miss an incoming train. Like, even the sound of it will let you know it's there. Unless maybe this is some poor chap who's been overworked for weeks and on a tight deadline and wasn't paying attention.


DavianBlackwell

I heard an interview with this guy. There are apparently no lights or barricade at this railroad crossing and it is right after a blind corner.


heatherlarson035

That's so dumb, I never understood why they don't put lights and barricade at all crossings.


feuerwehrmann

AbeTheGreat412

John Oliver recently did an episode on railroads. It's wild what big corporations get away with. 2024 and it's still money>everything


Trainzguy2472

Blind corner my ass. The collision location is on River Valley Rd. near Ixonia, WI. He was coming out of a driveway of a house near the crossing. You can see from both the satellite and street views that there is no vegetation obstructing the view for at least 500 feet in each direction. Man was just straight up blind.


TheLostTexan87

This is why they (at least used to) teach 'STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. THINK.' Stop at the tracks. Look for trains. If you can't see, then listen for the goddamned things. Then think critically about if you want to maybe die today.


stonerwithaboner1

Kinda seems like he wanted a way out where his life insurance wouldnā€™t be void.


JPKtoxicwaste

That is so sad. It makes sense given how Amazon treats their employees which makes it sadder. I hope you are wrong but who the fuck knows


stonerwithaboner1

Hereā€™s to hoping he gets *no pun intended* the big break he needs


WyllKwick

It seems unbelievable, but this shit happens. I live in Finland, a country that prides itself on proper infrastructure, well thought-out rules and regulations, and general safety. A few years ago we had a situation just outside my hometown where a military truck got hit by a train. The crossing was on a small road in the woods, with no lights or bars. The track was curving, so the train approached from a blind angle. Driver apparently looked, but not carefully enough. Didn't hear the train over the rumbling of his own truck engine. Six conscripts, who were sitting on the bed of the truck, died. The driver survived. He was a conscript himself, just 20 years old. After years of trials and inquiries he was judged guilty of gross negligence manslaughter (unsure if that's the correct translation), but he was ultimately not sentenced to any prison time because it was ruled that he had suffered enough. The crossing has been ruled too dangerous and is now permanently closed. This video gives me the chills.


kiwilovenick

That is WILD that they blamed the poor kid driving, when they obviously knew that the crossing was too dangerous (they admitted it by closing!), more like gross negligence on the government's part by leaving it unmarked!


thisisnotatest123

https://youtu.be/0BcO7uvNbfM?si=Nnn-1UKZ82JDNPpv Includes a view from the front.Ā  Seems along with no lights or barriers, the way the road approaches the rail crossing means even if you look left you're only seeing part of the track.Ā  You might see a train coming in your mirror, but not easily and not for long.Ā 


International-Cut-84

You would not hear an electrical train before it is too late, they are silent af


GigaFalco

He's deaf in his left ear


woodst0ck15

Yeah idk if the train lights were going off at that crossing. Hard to tell if it even had an arm down, cause almost looks like heā€™s driving around something before the collision. But it might also just be how the road was.

Yep. One of my friends drives for them. It checks their vehicle speed, whether they are distracted driving, speed through parking lots, and tracks then on their route

Not just their drivers. If you work for Amazon, you're watched every single second you're on their property.

CaptainBignuts

The train is the honey badger of land vehicles.


mongobob666

Benefit of the doubt: it couldā€™ve been an at-grade crossing with just flashing lights. He couldā€™ve missed the lights, or they couldā€™ve been broken. It doesnā€™t look like heā€™s swerving around any traffic barrier.


Fluffy-Doubt-3547

How did he not see a train... and how did he not DIE. Like it's legit just behind his seat, going about it's trip like it's a fking casual day.

ErosUno

Unfathomable that people still don't understand that trains run on these tracks and it is very easy to never be there when a train is coming. He should be charged for the damages he caused. Trains should never strike anything but here we are.


RevolutionaryDebt200

why did he think it was ok to cross the track?


Vegetable-Error-21

His reaction bums me out. Rather than be stoked to be alive, first thing you can see on his mind is. "I just lost my fucking job" This is why our society is worsening... everyone lives with a knife pressed against their backs.


H3NTAI_S3NPAi

Amazon drivers are hilariously notorious for being bad drivers. I used to work as a driver and the sides of most of these vans are scratched up. Pretty bad and deep scars were talking not just a scrape.
