#PlaneCrash #Trending #NightlyNews
How much time was there between the police reporting the wreck to communications and when they first seen the wreck? That is if they did report it. With today’s communication technologies, there’s probably a system in place where train operators can be given such important information very fast.
Beautiful story…..I LOVE COPS!!!❤
Now THAT was heroic!!
This dude survived a plane crash and almost got hit by a train… He better buy a lottery ticket!
This is exactly how it’s like in the movies
I doubt CNN will share this story
Vax landing
😯😯😯😯👀👀🙏🙏👏👏
Death was chasing this man and he survived
I’m sure were others helping too,
Something is seriously amiss with all these USA private planes crashing!?
private planes are FAR safer then private cars.
That’s a gta scenario there
Plane crash + train crash
I like how they dident mentioned the debris hit someone
NOTE TO MOVIE MAKERS, THIS IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE. Fkn AWESOME.
Agreed, he should buy a lottery ticket.
2nd film angle from beyond the plane crash almost got that cameraman killed by the 3 foot piece of flying metal @0:32. Don’t stand anywhere near a train collision if you can get away.
What are the odds
Anti police activists will say these officers should b fired for pulling the injured man away like a dog
Why don’t the trains ever stop?
That is a GREAT question, why dammit, why?
Take a minute to think about why a train going 60 mph, weighing tonnes, couldn’t stop in time
@AuzzieCrunt Ive been working on this for hours now, so whats the answer? I just dont get it? Hey Marcel, you wanna weigh in on this?
If u make these police officers cheifs we could end racism in police dept.
Wow a cops !!!!!!!! Have done their job protecting and serving they are not Heroes that’s actually their job.
they were literally seconds from death… you’d never be brave enough to do what they did
Thats incredible. I wonder how the pilot is doing now?
lucky…M I R A C L E
Jesus said I am the water 💧 of life John 3 16 for God so loved the world 🌎 that he gave his only son Jesus so that who believes in him should not perish but have ever lasting life repent read bible Jesus is coming back
Give us an update in another two thousand years.
Farmers, we’ve seen everything.
🎶bum budup bump bump bump bump🎵
Dam this was heart warming fr fr
Wahou ! DIEU Merci ! Bravo à tous !
I could not imagine crashing a plane and then almost getting hit by a train He’s really right he does need to go by a lottery ticket
Fakenews
Those Cops are Hero’s , man .
True heros
This is a heart stopper. Wow….
God gave him a second chance. I hope he understands it and embraces it???
It’s called luck get real
@Evan Harkey I’m sorry you don’t believe in God. The next time you almost walk out in traffic to cross the street, brakes go out on your car, almost fall down the steps? God will send a angel to help you. I’ve seen several miracles in my lifetime…..Have a wonderful year.
@Theresa Morgan Then maybe you could explain why so many people die tragically. Did your invisible, imaginary friends in the sky forget to send them an angel. Same with children with cancer, horrible birth defects, or starving to death. I’m sure you mean well, but religion and reality are different.
@Mike Brown it’s called faith.
@Theresa Morgan Exactly. Faith is believing without evidence. That is why I’m secular. If it’s real, I want proof.
Wow great job!!!!!!
After some research the pilot is going to have to have multiple reconstruction to his face. Also had broken ribs. Apparently he was ex airforce pilot who thought he could save lives by landing there. The wheels in the front broke off upon impact. Also definitely was not counting on that train.
Oh god. What a close call.
This is amazing great cops
What mods are they using to get San Andreas to look that realistic
Real heroes!
WHAT??
This is when you 💕cops
And They say this stuff only happens in movies wow
No shrapnel either truly lucky .
THE TRAIN BREAKS SO LOUD!!!!! THE SPARKS FROM THOSE HOT TRAIN WHEELS AZ THE TRAIN TRIED SO SO SO SO SOOOOO VRY HRD TA STOP LOLOL OMG THE EFFERT OF THE TRAIN DRIVER TO STOPPPPPPPPPPPPP LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK GOD FOR GOOD HERO ,,,HERO COPSSSSSSSSSSSS LOLOLOL
Unfortunately the Officers will probably get in trouble with the Mayor because they didn’t put on their mask (outdoors) before saving this man’s life. Anyone in State or Local government in California seems to be an absolute dumpster fire.
Am wondering why the trains do not stop, in our country train do stop, we use the Diesel Engine Train……
Almost a ‘Final Destination’ moment
“I think he should buy a lottery ticket.” lol
In all seriousness, that’s likely still giving them all anxiety.
Death doesn’t like to be cheated. From the movie final destination
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Is this the remake of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, the Michael Bay version? I am glad everyone is all right, well done!
Some GTA for your azz smh 🙏🏾
Good thing they weren’t defunded.
True heroes
Watch the movie “Courageous” by the Kendrick brothers. God saved that pilot, not fate.
Bad luck, followed by good luck. That’s all.
@Mike Brown Proverbs 3:5-6
So brave for those officers God bless them
Finally! Cops Do something to Help and actually did their JOBS! Be a Hero not a ticket giver and harasser.
They always have been doing their job from the get go. The problem is people like the media spin lies and narratives and create baseless hate towards police. I hope you don’t buy into the activism that’s done nothing but harm communities. BLM signs in widows are code for “please don’t trash my business for something I had no part in”. Nothing wrong with giving tickets. Maybe people shouldn’t be speeding and risk killing someone’s son/daughter.
So they did thair job cool where’s my video for doing my job lol
Wow, the luckiest man alive, and the bravest police officer, thanks for your service in your communities
Good job ,
Wow these police officers are amazing
He legit cheated death twice like wow
Is this the same news station that was running pro-BLM propaganda?
Satan: “come on!” throws controller
LAPD did something good? Hmmmm I’m not buying it after all this is NBC
It’s like a movie
I used to live in that area in the ’80s
Good times
These guys are nothing less then glorified heros, that goes to show humans acting like Angels. Great Job!
Wow great job team!
Hopefully next time that pilot will pick a safer place to crash land !
Not many choices, there.
The train conductor should be arrested for attempted murder and hit and run for not stopping.
STOP wearing masks
God Bless the Policeman
The train conductor was like “not again”
What price can amount what these heroes (Great Police men) have accomplished in saving this pilot’s life??? Hats 📴 📴📴📴📴 to these brave servants!!!!
These small planes crash all of the time. If you really pay attention they are constantly crashing into houses and roads.
FPS Russia vibes on cameraman down the street.
at least the lad survived
Why are people wearing masks when they are outside
Those people are awesome.
This video is a classic.
Imagine that guy driving the train calling his boss to tell him he just hit an airplane.
Great work officers!👍👍👍👍👍
Refused to watch video because it is NBC News. Came here only to comment what trash you are.
Thank you LAPD, medal of honor work
The cops told me to buy a lottery ticket once. I got hit by a semi and was fine. I haven’t bought that ticket yet.
Jeez man if your ever having a bad day just remember that it’s could be worse. This is proof
It’s their job. Literally their job.
All God right there. This is pretty close the the plane scene in the fugitive with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones
Cops should carry jumper cables to drop the signal on trains. Just touch both running rails with the cable ends. Atleast it will give them a tiny advantage in situations like this
What are you on about?
@Matthew L say what?
Brave officers 💪
It is so hard to believe that there is no emergency stop button near a level crossing in town. How underfunded is Amtrak???
Although it may still take a mile for a train to stop, it is still better than relying on the driver’s visual.
A call to stop the train goes through multiple dispatch centers before the driver is alerted. Even then, it can take miles for a heavy train to stop completely.
@raboox9 in countries with advanced train system, level crossing will have some button you can push to directly warn the driver
welcome to the US railroad system
Amazing job by the officers. How could this happen?
This doesn’t even happen in Fast and Furious movies. Unbelievable
What in the gta
That was fukn heroic
The pilot was vaccinated and suffering from vaccination issues but they did not say that here of course because they’re trying to keep it quiet
do you have a reliable source?
1:11 dude better buy that lotto ticket lol
Those officers were clutch!! 😯
Grand Theft Auto is looking pretty realistic nowadays!
