How can a slow moving flatbed with a police escort get hit by a "high speed train?"

Supposedly it stalled and some of the warriors and wives were not able to get off in time.

I just saw this...tragic. :(

Prayers headed in their direction indeed.

Semi tractor has a banner on the front bumper that reads, "Hero's On Board" gotta wonder what the driver was thinking when the lights started flashing...

Very sad! :mad:

All, this one hits hard. There were some of our own that were killed or wounded to include QPs and spouses of QPs.

If you are the praying type, they need it.
