Car vs. Freight Train.wav

Sound effects > Vehicles

The train is going by just as the impatient teenager comes around the bend. He puts on his breaks, honks his horn, and yells "Hey!" as if threatening to try to do something drastic. The train gives a warning whistle in reply, but the teenager pays no heed. He sees a small rise in the road, so he assumes that, if he drives with enough speed, he might fly over the train and onto the other side. So he accelerates towards the train, but the rise fails to give him enough hight, and he crashes into the train. We fade to black.

I witnessed this two days ago right in front of me. Two drivers right behind one another, unrelated, didn't know each other, incoming train. Lighted crossbuck, arm coming down, bells a-gogo going ding ding ding.

All three decided to break for it and test velocity and physics. The last two only barely survived. One, some moron with a grin as she did it, got through also but it was close.

People are stupid.

it's not a nice mix! If the crash should sound real, the train has to stop!
And the distances between the train and the car are different. They are not on the same place.

A nice mix!

With all the sounds you used to create this one, you have to license it under attribution-noncommercial, as some of them are.

cc0 permits commercial use in the end result, which you can't do when using noncommercial sounds to create it.
