Long long ago at my first job, several ambulance chaser attorneys had the company I worked for on retainer. I had to go to the scene of a few big pileups and deadly crash sites to photo document what I could. Some were pretty gory, and some were really kinda cool.
The insurance companies would want the car destroyed ASAP if they could, so sometimes I had to go to the impound yard and photograph the fresh gore. That sucked.
The cool one was a train that hit a semi with a load of cotton. No injuries, just lots of money involved. Months later there was still cotton balls all over the area. The train company hired us, and I waited at the intersection. A train stopped a mile away, the engine pulled up and stopped. I shot photos of it from all angles. Then I got on the engine, and he backed up 100 ft, 200 Ft, and so on to 1,000 feet and then 2,000 feet. Then he pulled forward to let me off, and he went back to get the train. That was fun.
Many of the crashes were just head scratchers as to how someone could be such a bad driver to crash like that.
