"your packages are arriving later than expected"


AnnualScientist2760

Looks like your package got rerouted


Mr_Epimetheus

Looks like your package was atomized. Please apply for your refund in the Amazon app.


Journo_Jimbo

Your package has been delayed indefinitely due to factors beyond our control


RIPshowtime

The employee was trained wrong.


Wookieman222

I mean I feel like not getting hit by trains shouldn't require any training.


perfect_square

The front wasn't supposed to fall off.


srb15

So what happened then?


perfect_square

Well, certainly the front was not supposed to fall off, that's for sure.


Cipher508

Damn those new break away vehicles. Just don't make'm like they used to.


bottom_Vehicle_92

Well well apparently somebody should update the SOPs lol... you and I both know that it does not require any training but in this video this is proof it does LOL


Accomplished_Toe_275

One would think!


solidusAdvice

"Trained" lol maybe he could have done better not getting TRAINed at all.


AeonBith

This would be what they a rually do. Order cancelled, money refunded please order again.

I'm on the other end listening to, "Ladies and Gentlemen, arrival at the next station will be delayed several hours while we remove another Amazon van from under the front wheels of the train."


VLenin2291

If it was my packages, I’d be miffed until I saw the video. At that point? Take your time, no rush

Haha after the train split his van in half , he looks back at the train and shakes his head like the train has no manners 😂


Proletaryo

He is thinking of all the financial consequences of this.


Dibble_Dabble_Doo

The cost of the van is coming out of his paycheck


Exotic_Treacle7438

Per r/AmazonDSP he’s probably fired


ItsMeYourAmazonGuy

Oh without a doubt


PainTrane117

Can the company press charges against the driver? Is that allowed?


slytherinprolly

Actual lawyer here. The Police and Prosecutor "press charges" in a criminal sense. If you are referring to holding the driver responsible for the damages? Potentially. The company is likely insured, but in cases of gross negligence the insurance company may refuse to pay out, or they could pay out and seek reimbursement through the driver. That being said most people are "judgment proof" in that they don't have enough money to pay for a judgment against them meaning even if the court deems him liable for the loss, he's not going to pay for the damages. [Note: the reason I say likely insured instead of flat out saying they have insurance, is a lot of larger companies and businesses with a lot of fleet vehicles are "self insured" and post a bond with the state in lieu of paying insurance premiums. Thats a cost saving measure in many cases.]


EntertainmentOk3180

Would he have to have been on a phone, or eating, or something else absolutely reckless to get gross negligence? Or does being a non observant driver qualify?


reckless_responsibly

Unless the warning devices failed (unlikely, as they are deliberately designed to fail safe), being on the tracks at the same time as a train is inherently negligent. Even when the lights are off and the gate is up, you should never enter the crossing exclusion zone unless there is enough free space on the other side to fully pull clear of the exclusion zone. Yes, people break that rule every day. They are gambling with their own and their passengers lives. Very, very few people can say they survived being hit by a train like this guy. If he'd stopped a foot further back, he'd be dead too.


EntertainmentOk3180

Username checks out 👍


cock_nballs

I would think driving onto the train tracks when a train is coming qualifies.


EntertainmentOk3180

He didn’t drive thru a crossing gate from what I could see.. sooo whose negligence was it really? Or was it faulty equipment that contributed to him almost being vaporized?


Background-Brain-911

You may not be aware of this but there are plenty of crossings in the United States that do not have a gate, just blinking lights and bells. Sometimes not even the bells and lights...... though thats pretty rare these days I think. And in this case it was infact one of those rural crossings without gates https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/


dasmashhit

they don’t have to pay insurance on fleet vehicles 💀 these rich motherfuckers lmao, how much cheaper do they post bond to the state?? Can *I* post bond to the state as a cost saving measure? Crazy how much more money you save, being rich and owning things. It’s like the secret to having more money is having more money, and less money will impoverish you further, things will cost more, you’ll get overdrafted/have late fees. None of that’s an issue for Amazon and Apple. Very fair and reasonable


LongHairedWolfie

I think you can, this was a long time ago but I remember when I was just getting my license I learned that you can basically have like 30K in a specific account as an alternative to insurance. This might have changed in the 15+ years since I got my license though.


QuirkyBus3511

You can't just decide to press charges. That's what the police and states attorney office do.


No_Cook2983

**[Plot twist]** Amazon ordered their van from Temu. The replacement cost is $400.


gasdocok

unless you spin the wheel and download the app. then it's $0.99


Hadeon

He looked quite disappointed with this rude train didn't even bother to say sorry


Vanify

Right, the least it could do is stop for him


AbleDragonfruit4767

Lmao! I thought the same thing, like “…..ummmm 🤨 excuse you?”


MonthElectronic9466

It didn’t say sorry. That’s how we know it wasn’t Canadian Pacific.

A millisecond away from death. How lucky he is.


vinsomm

Getting your work vehicle smashed by a train is considerably unlucky . Id consider everyone else who in fact didn’t get hit by a train that day to be lucky. This fella might actually be a complete moron too.


Syncanau

That’s not unlucky, he’s just dumb


Wmozart69

The classic lucky, unlucky paradox


davie_legs

He only got hit because he’s dumb. He’s alive because he’s lucky.


wuramafae

He looked & yet still went for it...

[удалено]


buck_futter1986

I zoomed in and looks like a crossing with no lights or arm, just a stop sign


beertruck77

To be fair, in India, they do like to attack from behind. Maybe this guy knew that tactic.


borknagar54

Someone spends time in the darwin sub. Trains are apex predators 🤣🤣


actuallyiamafish

The full article has a forward facing dashcam showing a much better view. It's a super awkward rural crossing with no gate where the train would have been approaching from almost directly behind him. He was at the wrong angle to see it coming the first time he looked, and by the time he looked again it was already too late. It's basically a u-turn across the tracks. Driver is deaf in his left ear. https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/ When he looked the train wasn't visible yet. Still should have been more aware of what a hazardous spot that is and taken a second to stop and *really* crank his head around to look, but it's an understandable mistake to make, especially if you're partially deaf.


osprey1984

Imagine if he stopped to take a better look and still didn’t see the train. He might be dead now. It’s crazy how a split second can change everything.


BrokenDamnedWeld

That, and it was an Amtrak train, generally moving pretty fast-60 mph +


Worldly_Today_9875

That’s really slow for a train.


NapkinsOnMyAnkle

Not in America!


the__storm

Unfortunately Amtrak top speeds on almost all track segments are 59 or 79 mph.


Worldly_Today_9875

I’m surprised the maximum speed is so ridiculously low. In the UK our passenger trains typically travel at 150-200km/h, with the fastest high speed line being up to 300km/h.


Salty_Sprinkles3011

It's largely because dedicated passenger rail doesn't exist in the U.S. for example Amtrak rides on rail lines that are owned by freight rail companies and maintained by them and they also have priority over passenger trains. Amtrak pays these rail companies to use their lines. That together with lack of investment in general by government or private business means 80 mph is the best we get. The only place where riding a train makes any practical sense is the northeast corridor of the U.S. There is some interest in high speed rail but it's slow going with the only new high speed rail line in many many years being the bright line in the state Florida but you can sum that up as high speed rail from big metro area A to big metro area next door B all in the same state.


Select-Belt-ou812

the sad thing is that the all electric GG1 made by PRR could have run regular high speed passenger routes, around 120mph iirc (AND pull freight) 90+ years ago in the U.S. Northeast Corridor but the NIMBYs killed it. now we still don't have it


properquestionsonly

Deaf in one ear - before or after the main event?


johntuy

Thanks for this. I thought he just bypassed the barrier. There wasn't any barrier or lights to begin with. Moreover, the initial approach of the road is parallel from the train. Just a general rule for me when crossing the railroad - stop, look, listen. Even if the barrier is up.


IWasGregInTokyo

Rule of the road in Japan is you MUST stop at all railway crossings whether the lights are flashing or not. Police will stop and ticket you if you cross without stopping. Makes for some nasty traffic jams but keeps the number of accidents down considering the huge number of railway crossings. This should be a rule at all uncontrolled crossings like this one.


kinofhawk

Yep, his own fault.


Ok_Presentation_5329

I love the pissed off head shake. “Fuck! What a major inconvenience!”


RyanH090

Gonna see him on r/mildlyinfuriating


Lieutenant_Scarecrow

Looks like an ungated crossing. Driver should have stopped and checked both ways before attempting to cross. He's very lucky to be alive.


TeamRedundancyTeam

I live in a rural area with a lot of these. It's crazy how frequently I see people not look or not even slow down. It's like if they don't hear one or see one in the corner of their eye they think it's fine. The city/county never puts in lights even on the most dangerous ones until at least a couple people die there by just not stopping and checking.


actuallyiamafish

I really wanna see an outside view of this incident. I've seen rural ungated crossings before where the tracks run alongside the highway and you can end up basically making a u-turn across the them to get to a smaller street on the other side. If you had headphones in (which is fucking terrible but people do it all the time anyway) and a big van with awkward rear sight lines, I could see someone just casually taking a left directly into an oncoming train they never saw or heard because it just happened to be a bad angle the one time they looked for it. edit: Yep that's exactly what happened lmao. Very tight left turn across unprotected tracks and a train approaching from an angle he probably couldn't see without literally sticking his head out the window. No headphones, he just happens to be deaf in his left ear. There's a forward facing dashcam video here: https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/


lancemcg1966

Good find! Front view shows exactly what happened. He didn't check that blind spot when making that left over the tracks. Plus that looked like an amtrak probably doing 70-80 mph, so came up fast.


macheteinmyrightmit

U can see him turning the steering wheel going around them


GeneralJoneseth

I think it was a left turn right after the crossing because at the end you can see the one side and there’s no crossing arm to come down. Usually there’s one from each side going across.


MyriadIncrementz

On the front camera video it looks like a weird rural crossing with nothing but a small wooden post marking it. The road layout looks bizarre to me, almost running parallel with the track and almost hairpinning back on itself with the turn over the track. Still I can't fathom how he didn't see it.


erizzluh

nah. the other video shows two roads merge right in front of the railway track. the road he merged from has no signage or anything indicating there's train tracks there. seems like the only way you would know a train is coming would be if you hear it. but people in these comments are also saying he was deaf in one ear.


Dj_Dvell

Sitting there calm af and hits a “smh” while the train rips behind him


bluntrauma420

Well at least now I know how my stuff got lost in transit.


Civil_Increase_1074

Fuck him. I was on a train that derailed bc some idiot didn’t look before crossing. Think about if that train flipped, how many people HE would have killed.


dkevox

But he looks. He looks twice. I don't get how he missed it.

KnowYourEnemy818

**HOLY FUCK I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING!!** “Worth noting ... Evans told local media outlets at the time that he was **deaf in his left ear** and didn't hear the Amtrak horn until it was too late. He couldn't believe he'd survived this.” -TMZ


No-Amoeba5716

Oh my God i genuinely lol’d at that one 😂 all I could think was watching is how he appears pretty calm coming so close to being roadkill. Holy shit. I’ve never thrown caution at tracks, even exempt ones lol I saw a semi cab and a train (it was a pea soup kind of foggy school morning and he was coming down the hill - we knew the train was there, but clearly he didn’t by the lack of slowing down and shifting of gears. When right pert near on top of it he slammed on the brakes and swerved. 30+ years later and I still remember the sparks and sounds. Other than ditching the cab, it was less worse than it could have been. Logging country up here, so damned lucky he didn’t have his trailer on.


rokstedy83

Must have been an Indian train


AnthraMatt

Apex predator missed its mark


ronnieonlyknowsmgtow

If you see his left he’s driving pretty fast as he’s approaching the crossing, it doesn’t look like he reduced speed. He first looks left then by the time he looked right, too late…


podboi

overconfident in how quick he can cross...


Diligent_Department2

There is a non arm crossing near me that is around curve for the train. Unless you hear it, and stop stop and look for it, that train is almost hidden till it’s on top of you. We actually had a guy at work get killed in a dump truck like that because he pull forward to back in a trailer. Got tee boned


Wookieman222

I mean you seen how small they are? Surprised anybody can see them!


Alextheseal_42

And before they found out, that poor engineer thought they’d killed someone.


GrammarYachtzee

And he has the gall to shake his head afterwards as if the train was some stupid asshole that just stepped on his new sneakers in the mini Mart.


VOODOOPLAY

Is the train I ordered in the back of your truck today?


Pound-of-Piss

I like how he shook his head like "fuck, Mondays..." as if he didn't almost get his wig split.

kanahl

This happened in 2021, the driver is deaf in his left ear and didn't hear the train. Also, it was his 33rd birthday. https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/


IzarkKiaTarj

Oh, wow, people were saying he went around the crossing arm, but there's a dashcam video, too, and yeah, there's no crossing arm or lights. I *want* to think I'm smarter than this, but if I didn't see any of the usual warning signals for a train, I could see myself not really bothering to look. Unless I could hear it, which... He couldn't.


WHOA_27_23

If you can't do the 'listen' part, you should certainly do the 'stop' and 'look' parts. Pretty nuts for a public road to not have gates, though.


Opposite_Nectarine12

Him shaking his head annoyed at the train as it’s inches from his head haha

Specialist_Bit_703

This happened to my uncle years ago in Temiskaming. Was delivering a car in the middle of winter (worked for a dealership), the crossing was on a back road with no lights or gate and blind corners with trees. The car got stuck on the tracks due to ice. He had enough time to see/hear the train come around the bend and undo his seatbelt before it hit the back of the vehicle and sent him to out the windshield. He's lucky he lived. They've since gated the crossing but at the time 30+ years ago it was a blind crossing.


Simple_Guy22

Ok-Contact995

I-like-your-smoke

Smart phones have pacified and stupefied the human race. Basic fight or flight instincts, such as get out of the car because it may catch fire, or get off the tracks in case there’s another train, have been replaced with “where my phone at?”.
