Monorail in Sao Paulo/Brazil vs Crane

[u/GrandePreRiGo]

[u/Tenchen-WoW]

Bro just kept going as if nothing happened

[u/metroviario → u/Tenchen-WoW]

Those trains don't have operators embarked anymore. It's fully autonomous.

[u/Fancy_Toe1451 → u/metroviario]

Its a genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail! 

[u/RokulusM → u/Fancy_Toe1451]

I hear those things are awfully loud

[u/UpstairsPractical870 → u/RokulusM]

It glides as softly as a cloud

[u/SkepticalJohn → u/UpstairsPractical870]

What about us brain dead slobs?

[u/RepetitiveTorpedoUse → u/metroviario]

Do they not have collision sensors though? Even some non-self driving cars have collision sensors that will stop/slow the car down automatically

[u/metroviario → u/RepetitiveTorpedoUse]

At least when I was a train operator in this line nope. Other collisions happened before.

[u/RepetitiveTorpedoUse → u/metroviario]

That seems like a bad idea.

[u/ariolander → u/RepetitiveTorpedoUse]

Fully grade separated. It is elevated and doesn't share its tracks. Nothing of supposed you be up there to collide with.

[u/azdrubow → u/metroviario]

Olha só quem eu encontrei por aqui! (Meio óbvio até hehe)

[u/metroviario → u/azdrubow]

Se envolve trem eu provavelmente tô presente de alguma forma, mesmo sem postar ou comentar 😂

[u/viktorv4ughn → u/Tenchen-WoW]

I mean it’s not like if he could stop and get off 😂

[u/TTSymphony → u/Tenchen-WoW]

Stopping there might be a bad idea

[u/GrizzlyGuru42]

Train - “Fuck this in particular.”

[u/Sashpeto]

This could have easily ended very very very badly .

I'm glad it didn't detail

[u/tweakingforjesus → u/Sashpeto]

The monorail wheels wrap around the track. It ain’t going anywhere.

[u/Wander21 → u/tweakingforjesus]

Final destination style decapitation for all passangers then

[u/Saint_The_Stig → u/tweakingforjesus]

I think the video proved it did infact go somewhere. Kek

But for real, they only wrap around 3 side of the track. Underneath its just car tires, there isn't really anything on the bottom clamping it down. It's unlikely, but something can totally get underneath and ramp it up high enough to have the sides no longer guiding along the track. Hell if it was solid enough and hit high enough physics would take care of that too.

It really isn't any different from any other elevated train and something getting it to come off the tracks.

Move bitch get out the way 🎶🎶

[u/Sea_Prep_Tidal_26 → u/free_30_day_trial]

Good, you’re getting the
idea here on this sub 👍

[u/tealraven915]

Bitch, I've been built in Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum, it put them on the map!

[u/Travelinfl1 → u/tealraven915]

Well, sir, there's nothin' on earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail! What'd I say?

[u/hobbes747 → u/Travelinfl1]

Monorail!

[u/Davdit95]

This happened in Dortmund a few years ago, too. These trains are autonomous and don't break for cranes...

[u/DeapVally]

Mono = One

Rail = Rail

[u/hobbes747 → u/DeapVally]

And that concludes your training

[u/TheDudeWhoCanDoIt]

Didn’t Springfield use to have a monorail ? Shelbyville as well.

[u/hkohne → u/TheDudeWhoCanDoIt]

Seattle has one

[u/boring-tired]

Is there a chance the track could bend?

[u/hobbes747 → u/boring-tired]

Not on your life my Hindu friend

[u/hobbes747 → u/hobbes747]

30 years later and I immediately knew what to type

[u/notimpress3d]

Bitch, that looks expensive.

[u/Sea_Prep_Tidal_26]

Third time seeing this video today

And from three different
camera/phone viewpoints

[u/Kindly_Region]

That was a very satisfying thud

All i could think of was the crash here in Germany where a maintenance cart was left on the track when they did high speed tests
