Compare The Meerkat (comparethemeerkat.com) advert which advertises the price-comparison website, Compare The Market (comparethemarket.com).

This is the new shorten advert!

Compare The Market.com compares prices on a number of items including car insurance, home insurance, as well as credit cards, loans and mortgages.

It aims to give you the cheapest quote from a number of big companies, including the AA, the Post Office and HSBC.

The reason for this advert is the constant mis-spelling of Compare The Market, with users inputting Compare The Meerkat instead.

The advert features a russian meerkat called Alexsandr (somtimes spelt as Alexander) who is the founder of Compare The Meerkat. He complains about the number of cheaper car insurance requests and plays the jingles for both of them.

On his website, you can compare meerkats by size, their favourite hobbies and their location.

Certainly one of the best advertising campaigns in recent time. But remember, if you want cheap car insurance, it’s CompareTheMarket.com.

MINICARS MICROCARS CRASH TEST FAIL CAR CARS AUTOS New Crash Tests Demonstrate the Influence of Vehicle Size and Weight on Safety in Crashes Results Are Relevant To Fuel Economy Policies Three front-to-front crash tests, each involving a microcar or minicar into a midsize model from the same manufacturer, show how extra vehicle size and weight enhance occupant protection in collisions. These Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests are about the physics of car crashes, which dictate that very small cars generally can’t protect people in crashes as well as bigger, heavier models.

“There are good reasons people buy minicars,” says Institute president Adrian Lund. “They’re more affordable, and they use less gas. But the safety trade-offs are clear from our new tests. Equally clear are the implications when it comes to fuel economy. If automakers downsize cars so their fleets use less fuel, occupant safety will be compromised. However, there are ways to serve fuel economy and safety at the same time.”

The Institute didn’t choose SUVs or pickup trucks, or even large cars, to pair with the micro and minis in the new crash tests. The choice of midsize cars reveals how much influence some extra size and weight can have on crash outcomes. The Institute chose pairs of 2009 models from Daimler, Honda, and Toyota because these automakers have micro and mini models that earn good frontal crashworthiness ratings, based on the Institute’s offset test into a deformable barrier. Researchers rated performance in the 40 mph car-to-car tests, like the front-into-barrier tests, based on measured intrusion into the occupant compartment, forces recorded on the driver dummy, and movement of the dummy during the impact.

Laws of physics prevail: The Honda Fit, Smart Fortwo, and Toyota Yaris are good performers in the Institute’s frontal offset barrier test, but all three are poor performers in the frontal collisions with midsize cars. These results reflect the laws of the physical universe, specifically principles related to force and distance.

The quality of the video shot is poor so seeing this is going to strain the eyes.

As a member of the Collis P. Huntington Railroad Historical Society, I was working this train as a volunteer this weekend and was enjoying a smooth ride back west on the New River Sub.

As the train rounded the curve to the crossovers at Cotton Hill, W.Va. a violent thunderstorm hit. As the train rounded the curve at the east end signal bridge, the hillside to the left of the train (to the right in the video) collapsed and caused several large trees to crash down on the first three dome cars in the consist. The force shattered the glass at the top of the dome cars. Thankfully no one was seriously injured.

As the first dome car comes up to the Rt. 16 bridge, you can clearly see part of a tree still sitting on the car.

The train made an emergency stop about a mile away to assess the damage and were given the clear to go west under a 25 mph restricted speed till Montgomery, W.Va. At Montgomery, Nickel Plate #765 took on water for the remainder of the trip. It was here they did a final inspection and cleared the train to go to Huntington. Maximum authorized speed for the remainder of the trip which was anywhere from 55-65 mph.

It was later determined after a thorough inspection of the dome cars, that due to the damage, #765 should not have been allowed maximum authorized speed due to axle issues on two of the dome cars.

It was this accident and others across the nation with excursion trains that CSX decided to up the liability insurance which caused the cancellation of steam service for this train. It was later taken over by Amtrak in 1995 with a consist of only 18 cars after this train used to run 32-34 cars.

I am not responsible for the video. A train engineer that worked for CSX took the day off and chased this train and he was standing on the Rt. 16 bridge to capture #765 as he rounded the curve. He got more than he bargained for, but at the society (which he was a member of too), were thankful somebody captured this on video.

I was able to obtain a copy of accident and thus have it in my possession nearly 17 years after it happened.
