    What passes for "logs" in the US isn't much better.

    It's weird, I know it's terrible to think this way, but if this happened in the US, which I'm sure it does, we'd all go OMG!! The fact that it happened in Russia, is like, oh well, hope the driver is ok. Where was the truck? I think the guy on the side was signaling the train engineer, or something. I can't believe the train keeps going (and blows the whistle?) and the people on the train looking. I can just hear the conductor ( in my best Russian accent), "Comrades, off on right side of train, notice foolish truck driver, with big problem. Please remain seated, I assure you all is well."

    This is way later after crash. Investigator and cleaning crews are working on the crash site. The guy signaling to engineer to slowdown. Truck was with trailer and trailer is sitting before RR and looks not damaged much. Truck is trashed completely I don't think driver survived. Sad.

    It is not in Russia, in is in Byelorussia.

    Truck is MB Actros cabover. Truck got minor damage for this crash becouse trailer got hit and it was separated from truck.

    Thanks Pablo, Russia, Byelorussia, what's the difference?( just kidding, seems you have to say that before people start jumping all over me) ( I'm reminded of the Sat. Nite Live skit, "If it isn't Scottish, IT'S CRAP) where Victoria Jackson says to Mike Myers, " Scottish, Irish, what's the difference, and Mike Myers freaks out and Victoria Jackson runs out of the store. One of my favorite skits.

    Really 3 states of USSR destroyed it. Byelorussia, Russia and Ukraine signed Belovjsky Agreement to disassembly USSR w/o big war, but IMO, war just was delayed
