When I was younger, we had a movie about trains on VHS. One of the main things I learned was “these motherfuckers can’t stop for shit, avoid them when you can”.

He wasn’t wearing his high-visibility jacket.

He was high-centered on the crossing, not really parked per se.

Still, limo driver should’ve known his route first.

I’m bloody impressed, I’d’ve thought that limo would’ve been split in half.

I was thinking the same thing.

Agreed, I expected it to explode. I’ve always heard that there’s basically no safety or crash test requirements for limos - they just weld in a tube more or less so they tend to have all the structural rigidity of a wet noodle.

Used limo for sale. “Ran when parked.”

Didn’t you know that waving your hat can make the impossible happen? Well... Not in this case.

This one had a LOT of structural rigidty, BUT, I bet it had the crumple zones of a wet turd.

That’s usually the truth! Look at an older Panther limo and you’ll see slight bends from the aging of the poor quality stretch job.

But this one was really well built! Took on a train and came out of the other side pretty well!

I’ve seen a limo crash at one point where the front basically collapsed up to the “split” and stopped. Front end absolutely destroyed. limo stretch portion untouched.

It’ll buff out.

A real engineer would design it to split in half in the event of a side impact, like every other car on the road does. The purpose is to brush away the impact force so that it doesn’t hurt the occupants.

I would like to bring everyone’s attention to the hilarious shilling YT comments. This person thinks they filmed a miracle of some sort...

I had to stifle my laughter as the limo got swept away. It was just too damn funny for some reason.

Except when the occupants get shot out...kinda like when you snap a pretzel rod and crumbs go flying everywhere.
