Standing still to record the flames around you, either you are way too addicted to social media dopamine rushes or you know you are not going to make it.
Edit: I should’ve taken a better look with sound on….
Or they had to wait until the other train passed.
You know they're in a train and not a car right?
Counterpoint: Traincars.
Yeah that other train passed and did not give a fuck. I have a feeling that those levels of trains are more fire resistant than in movies. Still get out of there asap, but flames still take a while to heat giant metal industrial vehicles up.
That other train that passed had a clear track, and they were waiting their turn on a side rail to use the track the other train was coming the opposite way on. Many many places only have one set of rails, there ain’t two-way traffic everywhere. You probably don’t want two million-ton vehicles to smash into each other in the middle of a wildfire.
You have heard of side lines to let other trains pass, right?
Excuse me they’re called “sidings” 🤓
Yep! I typed that in a hurry, and my brain and fingers were completely connected. Oops!
