Train Vs. Tornado - Guess who Loses?

I remember watching that video way back in the day when I was still in high school at the time. Good times.
 
What a horrifying wreck view ! A derailed tank car hurtling, bouncing towards the cab, sparking on the rails, on a bridge no less. Hopefully it was a trailing unit loco in dash cam. I wonder if any dangerous liquids spilled from the ruptured tank car ? I bet the crew now had their brown pirate pants on

Right. I'm sure this is the first time this has ever happened.

No. Here's another example, this time it's a Norfolk Southern train with a crew member providing play-by-play commentary of the tornado (tornader in the South) hitting the train. If you pay attention to the commentary after the tornado hits the train, you'll hear him take a jab of what he thinks what would happen if they were in a GE-built locomotive instead of the EMD-built locomotive they were in. Please note that there's cuss words in this video, specifically the f-bomb and the s-word.
