[Physltest] [Phys-L] Re: Train Collision Clip

["Daryl L. Taylor" <Daryl@DARYLSCIENCE.COM>]

I don't have the Iowa Fair one you are looking for, but there's an
Engineering firm site that has several different types of train crashes for
testing. The best one is the train-train collision. Obvious momentum
transfers.

Subject: Train Collision Clip


Does anyone know of a website that has a video clip for the head on train
collision which I believe happened in the 1930's at the Iowa State
Fair?(apparently using cars for a demolition derby had become passé at that
point in time)  I've seen it in the past used in commercials on TV, but it's
not on my cinema classics laser discs.
Thanks,
Matt
