Awesome!

Translation of the text: "There are many aspiring engineers, we cant wait till they get older" -Hydro (an oil and gas company)

I was trying to guess what was going to happen next. I was pleasantly wrong.

wtf ? holy crap... I had this playing with no sound and couldn't figure out what they were doing. then that train came and I thought there was gonna be something grtuesome happen. I was pleasantly surprised !

YES! that was freaking AWESOME.

I had no idea that was coming! That was very cool.

lol wtf?

That was very cool.

I wanna ride!

Perfect misdirection...I love it!

GREAT script and/or great director. I really didn't see it coming.

Well done!!! I wouldn't have even noticed or watched this on YouTube- the title on YT gives it all away. Good vid, but 2x double extra points for a well done sift. Props.

Took me ages to check this out because it sounded rubbish but I was wrong - so wrong.
