Near Death Experiences...YiKeS!!!!

So work was very interesting on Wednesday...if you like to call near death experiences interesting at all...haha...so here's the story:

...so we are working on this road where there are train tracks so i had a semi truck stopped on the other side of me and the tracks...i let some cars go from my side... after that i was 25 feet away and i turned my sign to start letting the semi through...i moved up about 10 feet as he was coming and then when the semi was halfway through the 2 sets of tracks the railroad lights go on and the thingys start coming down and the semi STOPS...in between the 2 thingys...and i am yelling at him to come on and drive through the pole things that come down cuz they are flexible fiber glass for a reason lol but he jumps out and we start running from the area....the train comes and misses the back of the semi by a foot or less! i couldnt believe how lucky we were...i didnt stop shaking for like 3 hours and i will admit i cried a little haha i am just thankful that i and the guy are alive...it could have been horrible cuz if it woulda hit it...it would have sent things flying everywhere...and i and the guy most likely could have been hit because although we were running, it wouldnt have been fast enough cuz the impact would have been huge...

so yeah there is my near-death experience...and now i am officially afraid of the trains and the sounds of the trains as they come through the area...eesh!
