I was watching a show on big rig trucking last month and the driver was saying how he was required to have an escort from the railroad when crossing each track. At least within whatever borders he was working in. But regardless of that, WTF did the truck driver think was going to happen when the gates came down? Why wasn't he hitting the throttle regardless of the breakaway gates? Whatever he was worried about wasn't anywhere near as important as the oncoming train. It amazes me how so many people in a position of responsibility just freeze up when faced with a situation requiring immediate action.
Edit: Just found an article about it on Fox news.
Freight train in Texas smashes through semi-truck hauling wind turbine blade, video shows
A freight train barreled through a semi-truck that was carrying what appeared to be a piece of a wind turbine as the 18-wheeler drove over the tracks at a rail crossing in Texas on Sunday.

In the interests of truth, they are not hanging someone in the sense it’s shown.
The guy was in a harness waving at people, they were trying to fix something on a rooftop.

Nice bit of fan-fiction.
Give it ten years Hollywood will make a film of it, and this time you’ll win!
I was wondering the same

There's hope for you yet.
Oh...right! Chris Kyle was a fictional character in a movie. My bad. Sorry I forgot to consult with you regarding the facts, Mick.

I am fully aware of who he was, he was killed in 2013 so you fantasising about him killing ‘ragheads’ in Afghanistan is really fact based I guess.

It was going to be a shitshow no matter what. Biden did what had to be done. Things could always be done better but that's hindsight. At least he finally gtf out of there.

It increasingly looks that way.

Say what you may in support of Biden.
But I will remind, as a U.S. veteran I known first hand there's protocol in such matters as war, and Biden failed to use any protocol or plan. It was totally asine of the Commander in Chief of the United States of America to pull out the way he did.
He left so many people stranded to die at the hands of the enemy.

After he said nobody was going to be left behind. The Girl Scouts could have thought of a better plan than sleepy joe.

Obviously neither did Joe our his woke team.
You destroy equip if needed left behind.
You take the civilians home first and your assets, then the military and you do it from an established military base rather than a civi airport. The guys that dont know the protocol in these matters need to wise up.
Biden is a complete and misersble failure. Quit kidding your self. Soon he will be replaced with Kamala as planned and we'll have an even better frig fest. Idiots.
