Plane hit by train after crashing on train tracks in California - Reuters

The officers and pilot are just a few feet away from the tracks when the passing train destroys the plane.

"The plane had a failed takeoff and landed on the train tracks at a popular intersection," said Luis Jimenez, the 21-year-old music composer who filmed the video.

"Just seconds before impact police officers saved the pilot, and a piece of debris almost hit me.".
