RTD A-Line Commuter Train Vs. Van Crash (Video 1)<br/>This video footage of an RTD train Vs. vehicle crash that occurred at the railroad crossing located at North Chambers Avenue and East Smith Road in Aurora, Colorado on February 14, 2017 at 3:38AM. Video footage is from two camera's mounted at the RR crossing. APD New Release: https://www.auroragov.org/blog/One.aspx?portalId=2869361&postId=6954157&portletAction=viewpost RTD Statement regarding release of this video: The Chambers crossing videos released by Aurora Police this morning of the tragic incident involving the University of Colorado A Line and a van on Tuesday show two different cameras angles. It is extremely important to note that the crossing's ENTRANCE gates activate properly – behind the van that drove into the intersection and stopped – and well before the train enters the intersection and impacts the van. There are other angles that show the crossing's EXIT gates, that also activated properly, by remaining open (to allow a vehicle that is inside the entrance gates to escape the intersection prior to the arrival of the train) and then the exit gates properly close. There is also a traffic signal near the EXIT gates that properly remains green after the ENTRANCE gates close, which lets the vehicle driver know they should get out of the intersection while the EXIT gates remain up. The distinction between the entrance gates versus the exit gates is very important otherwise it will likely give the absolutely incorrect impression regarding the proper functioning of the gates at that intersection.

Flame Throwing Drone Helps Remove Net on UHV Power Line<br/>When faced with certain objects twining round an ultra high voltage (UHV) power line, workers no longer need to climb a high ladder to remove it any longer, drones can now be used to do the dangerous deed. Maintenance workers in Xianniang City in central China's Hubei Province demonstrated the removal of a 12-meter long nylon net entwining around a UHV with a flame-throwing drone on Tuesday. "In the morning, our inspector found a foreign matter on the line. Through investigation, the nylon net was brought by strong wind, and severely affected the line’s safe operation. We’ll use a drone to deal with the emergency to ensure safety," said Feng Qi, head of Xianning power line maintenance station, Hubei power transmission and transformation project company. Workers flew the flame-throwing drone towards the net, spitting fire at about four to five meters away from the nylon net and burnt it to the ground. In ten minutes, the power line resumed its normal operation.
