Terrifying Video Shows Freight Train Crew Encased in Flames During Canadian Wildfires
A shocking video captured the moment a freight train crew in Northern Ontario found themselves surrounded by raging Canadian wildfires, with flames filling the view from the cabin windows.
The footage, taken late Tuesday, shows the crew desperately calling for help as the fire threatened to overtake them before it suddenly receded enough for the train to push through thick smoke.
One crew member can be heard pleading over the radio, “This could potentially overtake us here. This has gotten a little scary. Holy [bleep]. You all need to hurry up here. Seriously. We’re encased in flames now.”
Another voice adds, “This has got to move quick,” followed by “Holy crap” as the fire begins to pull back, allowing the train to pass through.
