When you think of transit hazards, “crane” doesn’t usually come to mind.


On the whole, all forms of public transit are worlds safer than driving a car. When you’re on a train, there’s not a whole lot that can go wrong (apart from the occasional drunk conductor or streamer attempting a derailment, of course).


Still, shit can happen, such as this video, where a crane decided to wild out and go directly in the path of an oncoming train. Thankfully, everyone involved was fine, though the train faced (understandable) significant delays.
