Gotta give him a break, AWMac. KBR probably still providing contaminated water supplies to those boys around BIAP in Iraq. No telling what pathogens are messing with his mind.

If that clip is suppose to be comical I would say its funny like the air crash at Dayton or clips of humvee's blowing up in Iraq, to each his own I guess.

Why do vids have to be comical? Why not instructional? That scene plays itself out across the United States around 600 to 800 times a year with about 100 deaths a year on average.
If telling people doesn't teach them, showing them might. If it bothers folks.... good.
And actually seeing HMMV's, HET's, HEMMETS, and KBR tractor trailers being blown up by IED's and VBIED's, or the aftermath of it, does tend to desensitize a person to a degree. Which I, VWE, and others here, can probably attest to.

errr, I think this will be a better 'instructional' video about rail-road crossing

From Clarkson never the less....

No... no comic relief, thats a WTF post. There doesn't appear to be a fence blocking the view of the tracks from the driver. I see stuff like that all the time and I have trouble comprehending it.

Give him a break, the guy is in Iraq. Part of the psychology of warfare is to attribute peoples deaths to mistakes on their part. Its what psychologists call "The world is fair" hypothesis.
For example, if a normal, everyday person is killed in a car crash for no reason, it makes you feel bad. On a deeper level, it shows that you can easily be killed too. However, if you can attribute a mistake to them, such as they were adjusting the radio, you can start to feel superior to them. "Well that person died because he wasn't very smart, and I am much smarter than him, so I will be ok". Of course you don't think about this on a conscious level usually. Its really just some fleeting thoughts that come together to give you a feeling about it.

The crossing gates were down, it took a conscious effort to go around them...

Yup,
The idiot rolled the dice and unfortunately paid the price.
Worse yet. Others in the car with them also had to pay for the drivers stupidity, or arrogance.
Whichever it was
