Where the Meme Comes From

The template comes from a short video clip showing a train hitting a school bus at a railway crossing. The stills show the bus crossing the tracks in the first panel and the collision in the second. The exact original source and when the clip first spread are not firmly established, so the meme is generally shared as footage of a train and school bus collision.

How to Use the Template

Use the two panels to show a setup and the forceful consequence:

1. Risky choice: Put the action or situation in the top panel, such as “I schedule two meetings at the same time.”
2. What hits: Put the consequence or opposing force in the bottom panel, such as “Both teams join the call.”

Keep the setup short so the collision or reversal is clear at a glance.
