I love it when they imply diesel fuel could have exploded. You need a lot of really hot air and compression to be occurring to get diesel fuel to explode like gasoline does. Not saying it isn't flamable.

Actually you people are wrong. the car actually had the right of way in this situation. I should know, I've studied this type of law my entire life.

thats why when ever I see a train coming, I always try to get across the tracks a fast as possible before the train comes. technically I'm the one who has the right of way, and you never know how long it will take for the train to pass.
There are so many things wrong with this comment I don't even know WHERE to begin!

to explode like gasoline does / GASOLINE EXPLODES ??? :shock: :?

I THOUGHT GASOLINE BURNS AND GASOLINE VAPORS EXPLODE.
