Surprised everyone lived, but the only thing good about being air lifted is you haven't died.

My brother retired with 45 years as a engineer for the railroad. He has always said you can't believe how stupid people are when it comes to trying to beat a train at a crossing.

I spent most of my working career in the rail industry. A lot of people out there have no concept of basic physics when it comes down to a very large mass traveling at even relatively slow speeds. It takes a long time to stop.
My FIL was a locomotive engineer for Conrail and then Amtrak. One of his greatest fears was hitting someone doing something stupid at an at grade crossing (or someone deciding to suicide by train) |

Who knew when crossing train tracks, you should stop and proceed when there's not a big ass train going through.
