      Yea being in a 200 ton block of metal is generally the best place to be in any situation like that. Another reason trains are the superior mode of transport.

    I work for the railroad. They always told us that if a tornado shows up. Don’t go inside a building, go inside a locomotive and lock the door. Those things are stronger than a tank. I’m surprised the side window broke. The front windows are bulletproof. They are about five layers thick. I literally seen rife rounds stuck in them.

Never mind when the video people comment under tends to show their now destroyed house and/or neighbourhood.
      I feel like this is a nice tornado video simply because these guys were in the right place at the right time (in a 500 ton literally bulletproof freakin' vessel) whilst watching a relatively weak tornado. I like how you can observe it almost like an animal at the zoo at first.

    I was born and raised my whole life in Iowa. I've been very close to three tornadoes in my 60 years. It's more fun than scary. If you're not an idiot you can figure out when you should duck and cover and when you can watch and drink beer. People in the Midwest like to sell this like it's super scary dangerous to everybody that didn't grow up with them. They're nothing. I'd be more scared to stand in an open field in a lightning storm than I would ever be afraid of a tornado. Don't let them fool you, It's not a big deal and I've seen some pretty good stuff In my years.

      He was actually talking about the brakes. A train had two braking systems, the dynamic on the engines and the air brakes. The air brakes system has a normal "service" breaking setting and, when the engineer puts the air brakes into "emergency" or the pressure on the air line throughout the whole train drops from a derailment or car separation. When he said, "We are in Emergency." What he meant was somewhere along the train the air line was separated.
