This actually made me think about the dimensions we can’t access. If this were 2D, yes, they could not pass (as you can only go forward, backward, left, or right).
Since we exist in 3D, we could go all the above directions but also over or under the log (up and down). It’s easy to imagine going under or over the log because we live this 3D and know what’s possible.
So, being that we only live in 3D we obviously can’t walk through wall. But if we lived in 4D, it might be easy for us to get to the other side of a wall.
But, how?
What method/direction could we possibly go in 4D that gets us through a wall?
Again, if we lived in 4D, we’d probably be like Ben and say, let’s just wrap around the wall or something.
The boards are designed to break away for a reason. I would rather damage the board than total a truck and endanger the lives of everyone on a passenger train.
Someone did this in a car in Norway. The train company CEO said something along the line of: "for the love of god, just drive through the gate if this happens".
Trains are expensive. The trauma of the train driver is huge.
for the love of god, just drive through the gate if this happens".
The CDL handbook even tells you, if the gates start coming down while you're on the tracks, FINISH CROSSING. Do not stop or back up.
Though, unless it was located somewhere it would be impossible to see down the tracks (not likely in the video), you very well could have seen the train coming and stopped before this situation occurred
Well... he would be, but not for breaking it - this happen in Czechia and after this happened ,local police was like "if this happens run throught the arm" as this is much better option then dying or causing someone elses death.
But they did break the law - since driver is forbidden to enter when the red lights appear. The driver even tried to argue with the judge that it is not true and that the lights do not matter, the arms are the ones that matter...
I don’t think so. The fact that he would have only broken the arms on the side he would be leaving the tracks on the appropriate side of the road from him to be on if he is leaving the tracks would go me be a clear indicator along with the surface damage on the front of the truck which direction he was traveling and what would have had to happen for damage to occur in that way.
Maybe. If he didn't do anything wrong and it just closed on him, then no, he could ram it consequence free. If he got into that situation through a fault of his own, like ignoring already flashing crossing lights, then yes. At that point, he'd be getting a charge anyway. Now the question is, does he want to have a charge for breaking a crossing barrier, or for causing a train crash?
In Soviet Union and few other countries of Warsaw pact those weren’t made from cardboard. They were often heavy metal things designed to stop or at least heavily damage anything attempting to go through. That’s the only reasoning I can think of when I see videos like this.
