fuck!

My question would be what in the world was that guy filming before this happened?

When will phone manufacturers wise up and disable a phone from shooting video vertically? This was the perfect opportunity to hold the stupid phone correctly.

Exactly! How about a flashing red warning when you're holding it wrong?

" DON'T LANDSLIDE ME BRO ! "


hehehehe I had to.

Better yet, why dont they just record in 4:3.

I'm not one to call videos fake or so... but what in the hell was he filming? Why there? Why vertically?... so you could see exactly whats happening? Is that the guy from one of the X-Files who can't die and makes Photos from disasters?

You do realize that sometimes things just happen when you are filming.
There is no magical "Event Fairy" that waits until no one is filming. I dobt he was set up, waiting for the slide. He was filming for some reason - one that I'm not going make up but sometimes things just get caught on film.

This looks pretty real to me.

Did you guys watch the entire video (in 1080p)? It's clear that pieces of the hill were coming down for a while. He filmed it exactly because he thought a landslide might happen.

Wow that train stopped quickly.. I mean, landslide aside, that thing stopped quickly!

lol
"It just came down and took out that "Self Censoring pause" rail..."

Cameraman summed it up pretty well.

Never said it's not real... but just a great coincidence... or the guy from X-Files, I know he's out there somewhere.

I would guess he's a train enthusiast? Or maybe *puts on tinfoil hat*...he caused the landslide and wanted to film it for teh youtubez.

It's like nobody here has seen The Station Agent.

It's not like the person filming this did so to entertain you. This was the best way to film the height difference between the top of the hill and the train below. Preferred video format is an illusion.

The brakes locked the whole length of the train as soon as the air hoses came apart. Still, this would have been a much more interesting derailment if it had involved full loads of potash or something heavier than those little container flats. Even though the containers look intact, I would be willing to bet there is damaged merchandise for a good dozen cars back from the derailment; shippers never strap their stuff in as good as they think they do. BN's going to be dealing with lots of damage reclaims.

On a boring, anecdotal side note, I picked out one of the readable car numbers going by and looked up its movement history. If the guy posted the video within a day or so of the slide then I can confirm that it happened on the BNSF not far from Seattle.
