    Came for the trains, stayed for the man eating the 72 ounce steak.

    "Because, let's face it, everything in history has been more exciting than anything Utah has ever done" I don't know man, I think bear-sized raptors were pretty damn cool. Utah peaked in the Cretaceous.

    Really strange fact: a friend of mine once told me in high school that “the word crush comes the town of Crush Texas, a place that used to crash trains together”. And I just believed him without a second thought. It took me a few years after I became a adult when I finally googled the crash at crush and realised that the town was completely fake and made up for the train crash part (and obviously named after the word, not the other way round)
  • I'm surprised that Huggbess missed the cool fact about the photo seen at 29:29, that photo was taken mere moments before the crash occurred and was instantly followed by the photographer losing their eye to a piece of shrapnel. You really could say the guy had an eye for photography, since it literally took one from him!

    As someone who likes trains the concept of smashing them together in a head on collision is both saddening and extremely awesome at the same time.
  • I’d love to see him explain 9/11 as if nobody had ever heard of it before

    I'd love to see Huggbees crash a train at every subscriber milestone. He can start with progressively larger toy trains, then get up to live steam, and finally use real trains when he gets into the billions of subscribers.

    Train enthusiast and railway museum volunteer here, steam engine are occasionally referred to as bombs because they can and have leveled entire blocks. They do not fuck around.

    I never walk away from a Huggbees video disappointed. I love how he can take a random topic or historical event and turn it into at least 30 mins of quality edutainment. Also, I loved how the bit with the steak challenge came full circle. The genuine excitement Huggbees had the whole time made me grin. Also, I learned through the comments that the restaurant's food is mid to outright bad, which is a downer but I'm sure there are better restaurants with similar challenges out there.

    Fun Fact : In Québec Canada, we still do train crashes in towns. Except they are unplanned, unsupervised, nobody paid for them and it was in the middle of the night. Oh and instead of dummies, it was real people who were set on fire and had their lives ruined. Thankfully the railroad company "Canadian Pacific", was ruled not responsible of making sure the break on their trains were working properly as they are carrying highly flammable crude oil.
  • @Eon_N
    I love how Hugbees consistently calls trains "choo-choo" trains across his videos
  • @cardomajig24
    I love the notion that exceptionally fast horses could bend the fabric of our reality
  • @clockworknorse
    I'm glad you mentioned demolition derbies and monster truck rallies as a modern expression of this urge. We didn't stop attending live vehicle crashing events, cars just became more relevant
  • @Jaxymann
    Imagine being impaled through your chest with a 4ft long piece of steam engine boiler as a casualty of the train crash & seeing the crowd of people running towards you - thinking they’re coming to help you out of concern for your life - only to have them rush past and set upon the ruins of the crash like a frenzied horde of zombies to look for souvenirs to take home, all while you’re laying on the floor & bleeding out.
  • I recently lost a good friend in a big train-meets-train tragedy in Greece. This video is oddly therapeutic. Thanks mate!
  • @KieranStarkiller
    To be honest when i was about 5 or 6, i'd watch my dad play train simutator and crashing the trains was the funniest thing, so much that in my child brain i thought the point of that game was to crash the trains. Thanks Huggbees for the good childhood memory.
  • @eatsh1t
    You wanna know what’s a real train wreck? watching Congressional Elections before a Huggbees video
  • @lucashill7612
    I was listening to this video while driving to pick up my friend when my tranquility of listening to a guy with the same kind of glasses as the villain from Spy Kids 4 was suddenly interrupted by a train. I'm not religious, but sometimes it feels like this stuff is too much of a coincedence sometimes.
  • @BuiHieuDong
    Huggbees is the only one who can say his intrusive thoughts out loud like this without any problem.
  • @immortaliron2475
    Huggbees could record himself watching paint dry for two straight days and still somehow make it entertaining
