That is a truly amazing picture! Probably the only one of this kind in the entire database. Usually, accident pics show wrecked trains or cars.
|
Looks like you captured the moment in this photo.

I think I'll take the train...
Nice shot.
|
Good work! I read about the crash in the news briefs yesterday and recall it saying the plane just stopped short of the railway line.....

I hope no one was hurt, good shot though.
|
It's a cargo plane, no injuries.

Looks like a cargo 747 as it has no windows.
|
Some of the crew were injured, but since this was a cargo plane there were no passengers.
|
I thought it was a misplaced Airliners.net picture!

Even though it's a cargo plane, it shows that trains are safer than airplanes in general!
|
Great idea for a photo.
|
That is an amazing picture, Unbelievable!

This is a old 100 or 200 series (no winglets, short top deck) 747 that probably has many thousand flight hours under its belt... Must have started as a passenger plane in the 60's, and later rebuilt to cargo specs... It probably fractioned into pieces that way because of metal fatigue, cracks, and other problems that high-hour airplanes all experience.
|
Next time, take the train! an old Santa Fe billboard.
|
Great shot, Wim! Could this be the first accepted photo at both RailPictures and JetPhotos?
|
So why is this on RailPictures.net?
|
Great shot! This is proof that rail travel beats air travel! And good thing this was not a passenger aircraft...
