Good video as you get to hear how traumatic it is for the train crew involved for a 10 minute video. However it doesn't go into more.... maybe not the best choice in words.. but more detail on the other people that it really impacts. It does indeed impact the crews involved but its not just them that it follows. There are the families of the person involved people. People that witnessed it happen be it on the platform, at the level crossing, in their car, on the train or even members of the public that ran to give first aid/help the person. Then there are members of the police, firies and ambos that attend the scene to fight to keep the person/s free/alive/recover/find body parts which is unfortunately the case some of the time. Then there are the poor blokes back at the cleaning/maint. sheds that have to clean/repair the trains. Family members of crews/witnesses now have to cope with their dad/mother/son/daughters change in appearence, their mood, well being, likes and dislikes, appetite, income, employment, going back to work... things that define who the person is... What makes them; them... if you know what I mean. It also puts stress on their personal relationships, friendships, built up tensions arise which could lead to divorce or make relationships even stronger once they pull through it.

Its a tough side to talk about and cover but its a side that I'd really like to see be shown as one incident just effects so, so, so many people.
