Horrific Multi-Vehicle Accident
Wednesday, 8th August 2007 by Alex Turnbull
This double-decker bus appears to have crashed and then toppled over, actually crushing a car underneath itself! (Look carefully at the roof of the bus and you'll see part of a car protruding.)
Worse still, at the same location a train has collided with several cars in some terrible freak accident, seemingly crushing one and overturning another.
Except... that would have to be the world's shortest railway, wouldn't it? Perhaps all is not quite as it seems here after all...
Thanks to TheLedge and simon a.

Just off the screen to the top of the train wreck is a giant chess board. https://www.googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=k&hl=en&ll=52.621623,13.246864&z=20
i wish i had thought of this before… there’s another somewhat renowned firefighter/rescue worker school just south of College Station, TX (home of Texas A&M University, for those not in the know of the Big 12)

The firefighters train on the burned refinery mock-ups, the airplane, and the rubble piles. Rescue dogs come here to be certified, I got to see one work that was at 9/11
If only it was high res, it’s a cool place
Reminds me of this place: View Placemark (51.994442,-1.687024)
The Fire Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh – customary Wikipedia linky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Service_College
Here is another training site, for Danish national emergency rescue service, that also includes cars that you can cut open etc:

All great links guys!
@Chris – I can’t believe I missed that! What on earth is that for?
@josh – it’s cool how you can see all those scorched, burnt out buildings…
@Phil – The Fire Service College is fantastic! There’s loads of stuff to see there.
Es un puto parque de BOMBEROS!!! Esos vehiculos son simulaciones de situaciones reales para entrenar a los bomberos.
