I didn't take it out of context. Sorry if I'm being an ar$e. I still say wonderful is not the appropriate word for any sad situation.

Revealing/telling may be a better word than wonderful.
The shots, especially the content, aren't particularly wonderful to me.

Just nitpicking.

Thanks for sharing the pics btw. I thought someone said the red one escaped injury. Looks like the side got damaged too.

I'm just glad it didn't happen to any of the 6speed crew that day. Imagine if we're stuck on the track due to a sudden traffic jam.

Actually, I wonder if the gate for that crossing even came down when the train came. Is there even a gate? I'd think if the gate is prevented from coming down, that should send a signal to the train ahead of time to stop in time.

Gates were there but unfortunately the train was in route 2-3 minutes ETA from time of impact. . . . . .
