Just kidding, found this pic on a wrecked car buying web site. I feel bad for anyone who was in that accident. But unreal damage to an lc.

After the train hit it, and the fire went out, they must have found it at the bottom of the ocean!

Is that re-bar in the middle?
No, it's just REPOST.
Cool pics though.

Weird that a plastic bumper cap survived.

yeah that is weird that the rear bumper cap survived right.
Look again, they are both melted.

Spy- if it is a repost, I've never seen it before, so thanks for posting! BTW where did you find these pics?

As much grief as people give the stock running boards, it is amazing how straight the DS running board is after all that.
Crazy pics. You gotta hope nobody was in that thing when this all happened.
Check out how the rear DS wheel is still partially attached to the hub ~ just the aluminum near the lug nuts remains. The rest is sitting inside the truck cab. In the wheel on top, you can barely see where the inner portion of the wheel is missing.
Bad juju.

For all those in doubt of the rear crossmembers strength....

Looks like the majority of the impact force occurred above the rear crossmember, and the body was crumpled like a tin can on a (relative to the body) intact frame.
IIRC a member here hit a steel crane counter balance at ~60 MPH and sustaind less damage than that to his 80,
so what hit this thing? fuly loaded 4 axle dump truck doing 80?

That's horrifying. Clearly such a horrendous impact to the fuel filler and the fuel tank area that the truck burst into flames from end to end. The doors on the 80 are an anti-jam design (check yours for the extra lip on the front edges of the rear doors) so hopefully any passengers were rescued. Unfortunately, I see that the driver's door pillar was cut, and the RF was removed. Any extrication tools used after a fire that size would generally be for body removal. Nobody uses cutting tools during a fire, and nobody survived a fire inside that truck.
That must have been one very high speed collision.

Holy Moly !!! Does anyone know what hit that LC...?
I would guess that it was hit by something very large and going very fast on the right side. A T-bone type of hit, then the momentum carried it into something that contacted on the left rear side; fairly high as was noted by others since the frame appears to have gone under the contact.
That is a sad sight indeed.

I think those were two separate and very heavy collisions. Something like a LC sitting at a light when a semi hit it from the rear at a good clip, shoving it out into cross traffic where it was immediately T boned at full speed. I don't think a T bone hit could shove the LC into something hard enough to cause that massive damage from the rear. The rear was most likely another collison and actually much harder than the side hit. That is just awful.
I've seen train collisions do damage like that and actually I was kind of wondering how the LR wheel got broken off and then the entire brake rotor also was ground/broken off all the way around as though it was dragged a ways. The LF wheel also has a bit of rim edge damage as though it also contacted something for a ways. Perhaps it was hit by a train and then dragged off by one of those concrete crossing posts. Yeesh. OK I'm going to have nightmares....

I was sure this was a repost, but it sounds like none of the Lifers have seen it, so I must be delusional. Maybe I was thinking of the pics of the 80 that hit the guard rail or the edge of a crane or some such horrific immovable object. My bad.
This thing looks worse everytime I look at it. Physics can be a real bitch sometimes.

does it have lockers?
