Stalling a tractor trailer carrying a ton of pipes is bad. Stalling it on a railroad crossing is even worse. Here's what happens when a train hits that stalled tractor trailer. And here's more proof that you just never mess with trains.
This truck stalled on the railroad tracks in Midland County, West Texas, and wasn't going anywhere. Thankfully, the driver was able to get out of the truck in time and nobody was injured.

That's actually fairly amazing when you consider that the debris from the train hitting the tractor trailer went about a half mile down the road.

Pro tip: If you see a train barreling towards you, get the fuck as far away as you can post haste.
