Shame on Brody's family for trying to blame the train operator...he went above and beyond. Those trains simply cannot stop in the kind of distances where a car is visible...that's a failure of US train technology, not of the operator. I've never heard of a single case where a train going at speed was able to stop safely in these scenarios...automobile drivers need to remember that railroad crossings are the most dangerous intersections on the road, and use caution accordingly.
I can't imagine what would compel someone to exit their vehicle when they know a train is oncoming...incredible carelessness that not only cost her own life but the lives of several others. You either stay in that car and accelerate forward as hard as you can (possibly damaging the front of the car, as well as the front gate), or you RUN away from that vehicle...possessions mean so little in these situations.
No this accident is the Deadliest accident in Metro North History the Spuyten Duyil accident only 4 people died in This accident 6 people including Brody were killed
4:46 Karens? The engineer wasn’t at fault for the collision, because she stopped on the track, and he didn’t have anything to do with that. That’s stupid, waste of money.
Yup. Stupid woman who was worried about the “damage” done by the lowered gate to her precious car and didn’t even budge to clear the tracks. Engineer did all he could and could not be at fault. This Karen wasn’t aware of the dangers of playing with RR crossings.. It’s better to have a small dent than have your car wrecked, cause millions in damages, and taking 6 lives with it.
@@penncentral6706 Not to mention, I do recall the engineer went out of the cab of 4333 (the M7 car that caught fire) and saved some of the passengers. He should be hailed a hero for all I care!
Those 2 people (the couple) are the ones responsible for the deaths because, not only did they tried to drive through a level crossing while the barriers are down, but also tried to DRIVE THROUGH WHILE THE TRAIN IS LITERALLY 200 FEET AWAY FROM THEM. this case and the verdict of it just straight up pisses me off due to the sheer foolishness.
Engineer was most definitely not at fault and one thing I loathe about the folk of the USA is that they think it’s their right to sue everyone and anyone when accidents happen…..it’s disgusting.
shouldn't this be something that is taught in driving education - I mean about grade crossings how the look and how they function what safety features they have and what to do or not to do if you get stuck on one? Or is this already too sophisticated for driving ed?
I did _not_ get taught this in Driver's Ed, for one. Picked up that you really shouldn't run a railroad crossing, but don't know how to get out of being stuck!
I was on the 6th carriage on the train and I heard a sound I think it was the train hitting the SUV and the train Cathing on fire I Called 911 and they came I still remember what happened

Wow. I remember hearing about this accident back in 2015. I was by the level crossing a few days prior and that shook me. Great video though. 👍
Hello there
rip victims of this incident, including the railcar too. job well done making this.
This accident was tragic. I remember hearing about it back in 2015
I still shake my head at these.
The damage afterwards doesn't compare for the damage prior.

She didn’t back up because she didn’t want to risk damage to the rear of her car. I don’t even know what to say.
Because if she did, the fuel tank would most likely rupture.
My thoughts too
@@Kasey1776 no it wouldn't
I dont know about you, but I always get out of my car to check the damage on the train tracks as a train is coming...
@@Kasey1776 a fuel tank would rupture by a little line touching the trunk of a car. Nice..
Wow very cool train I love metro north railroad train
2:40 we’ll be right back

@@penncentral6706 Yep. Not his fault for doing that. This is why people are dying almost every day. Being stupid and dumb.

@@StocktonSubber the hero of rails
@@penncentral6706 i agree
RIP, the people in that SUV
It was just the driver, Ellen Brody.
@@MichaelSheehy75 Then how did 6 people die?
@@brendanu1680 Ellen Brody in the SUV, 5 men struck or crushed by debris in the 1st car. 13 sections of third rail punctured the floor.

It was one person driving
@@penncentral6706 oh yeah, thanks for the correction. still though, I'm really pissed at that lady.
watch, now people will bug Thunderbolt for years about a doco for this.
i know it's gonna happen.
Yep xD
There's a 420% chance that people will bug him to do this until he does it.
Harrison La time traveler and NONE of them will look at it’s date.
@griffin rails Thunderbolt 1000 said he Will do 2015 Vahalla Metro North crash in Febaruy
If anyone wants to do a documentary on this, PM me, I have a lot of analysis and material on this incident.
There is also an Episode of Law & Order based on this accident. It aired again earlier this week. I believe the consist involved was used on the show.
I can’t wait
Most awesome vid!!!!
Why did you use the same music from your 1999 Amtrak Bourbonnais train crash
recommendation: 1996 st.paul Minnesota crash.
Could you do the Amtrak cascades 501 derrailment at Dupont Washington, please ?
Driver completely at fault…it’s a shame others were killed because of her incompetence
come on Christopher do you know basic physics ? that train could not stop on time. she didn't have to move forward and could have exited the car.
That thumbnail tho
-first-
I remember this
I saw the Drivers Name Ellen Brody Ellen Brody is in JAWS 1975
My dad works on m3s in Brewster

Why are you premiering this at 5 in the darn morning?
You must be on the west side
Because for me it's 7:00 AM
I’m the 100 like on vid
You make me proud.
Yo penncentral670 can u do the missiouri train collision
what type of app you use for these videos
Windows Movie Maker

A tragic accident,but could have been much worse
and of course it happens near my birthday.
What is the name of the music
Bittersweet
New York, New York
I pray for the M7
You should do the 1996 st Paul runaway
I heard about this
sad song 2:44
Wait did the SUV burst into flames and the train started burning?
Sorry I must have misunderstood your comment at first. The train could have become ablaze the same time the car exploded.
When the train hit the car, it picked up the 3rd rail, which caused the fire (if i remember correctly)
@@harrisonofcolorado8886 oh it's ok
@@griffinrails Oh
holy fuck
They should make more underpasses or overpasses and less grade crossings across the world
There are a number of places where that isn’t possible because of either the crossings location or the geography in the area
