It was the secondary methane explosion that caused the biggest mess. The folks in Hooterville must have had their hands full cleaning up that train. I am glad that Mr. Haney is alright, but I don't know if his truck will be repairable.

TRAIN VS. TRUCK: A train collided with a septic truck in Chesapeake, Virginia, leaving the driver miraculously alive and hospitalized for treatment.
Bad day to be working on thenPublic Works crew
I feel really bad for the train engineer.
I bet he had the windows open on his cab.
That train driver literally caught ** it that day, whew!
The honey dipper is kaput.
Not sure how that happened.
S—t happens...
Likely to be quite a stink over this.

A perfect metaphor for the way the country is going lately.
Oh sh1t...
Best-ever insurance claim. My broker had it framed on his wall. It was a loss-of-business claim by Kelso’s wrecking yard in Turlock, California.
“Merchandise covered with shit when tornado hit sewage farm next door. Customers wouldn’t come in for a week.”
A real shit show.
I wonder if it rolled downhill...
I saw that video and amazed the driver withstood that jolt/impact and is alive, God was with him for sure.
Was Pete Buttigieg the engineer?
Me very bad
Ed Norton driver miraculously alive and hospitalized for treatment says Ralph.
The truck driver made a sh*tty decision leading to a sh*tty situation and an even more sh*tty outcome.
Glad to hear he’s going to be ok. Unemployed for sure, but ok.
All in all everyone involved had a crappy day.
If you notice, the train hit the truck BEHIND driver’s compartment.
