We can see police getting the pilot out from the crashed jet on that railway tracks just seconds before the plane-train collision. The debris flew in all directions.
The viral clip became a viral sensation and got more than 2.2 million views with countless likes and retweets. The social media users heaped praise on the social media and lauded the bravery of the police officer.
As a railroad engineer I can’t be more proud of these officers. Hitting an occupied vehicle or an individual on the tracks stays with you forever. Knowing the occupant was clear of the tracks when the train hit the plane will let the Engineer sleep easier.
