Found on YouTube: Metro's Greatest Hits


It's been called many things. The Danger Train. The Death Train. A Streetcar Named Disaster. But it is our only rail line and it does get us from downtown to beyond Reliant Stadium. So, in this video, we give you it's greatest hits. Just smashing!

Thanks to Mike McGuff and brentabousko for turning us on to this video.

Great video. This is why those turns are illegal, guys. And guess what? You really do need to look before you change lanes, whether it's a train coming, or a bicyclist, or a bus or a van or a truck or a pedestrian.

These clips make it obvious, the train is not leaping from the tracks to run down innocent drivers.

Instead, some clearly oblivious or impatient drivers need to pay better attention on the road. And that's true all over town. If anything needs a cute nickname, how about let's call 59-south at 610 "The Meat Grinder" ... or maybe 610 at Westheimer "The Death Jam".

This is fantastic. I heart idiot Houston drivers!

I hate to say that every one of those people deserved to be smashed into, but ...

every one of those people deserved to be smashed into.

A veritable symphony of bad lane-changes and illegal left turns… including a left turn from a right-hand lane! God loves fools, that's why He lets them breed so quickly.
