Andrew was playing at Grandma and Grandpa Israelson's house tonight with his big toy train..... here is what he was saying next to us as he played.

"Oxnard, CA....after experiencing an accident at these two cross streets, a man sets up two cameras to support his claim that this intersection is dangerous.   This busy intersection has a railroad crossing, warning lights, bells, crossing gates, and a stop light.  He claims these things are not only confusing but dangerous.    So far the man has yet to find any evidence supporting his claim.  But that's about to change.  At the railroad crossing, bells ring, warning of an oncoming locomotive.  The crossing gates decend but the confused truck driver suddenly begins rolling forward.   The semi stops before crossing the intersection.   The driver seems unaware that he is directly over the railroad track.  The train engineer blasts his horn hoping the driver will respond.   (An amtrak train destroys a semi truck)    The truck is completely destroyed and the wreckage is strewn hundreds of yards.  As for the train, it faired better, but will require major repairs."

As Eric and I sat and listened to him it became obvious as his story progressed that this was a youtube video that he had memorized and was reinacting.   So....like any good detective I embarked on finding such video so I could record this hilarious reinactment.   Sure enough....a video of "Destroyed in Seconds".    I wish I could get that memory to remember things he wasn't so interested in.
