This isn't the first wreck where they folded up. And these aren't the only multilevels to fold up. There was an accident once where a 1930s Pullman MU RIPPED INTO a new bi-level, And that pullman didn't even look damaged.

Sure, they look big and tough, but these cars are basicall just sheet metal- NO FRAMES. Collision posts mounted to sheet metal= TELESCOPE.

Even the Amfleets that were involved in the cape may wreck didn't shred open like that, I think, and that ws at HIGHER speeds.
