There's no better father-son bonding experience than watching a train smash a semi-truck full of melons to bits.

Austin Broderick, 15, and his dad, Dean Broderick, 46, captured the crash, which occurred near a retirement community in Orlando, Florida, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

"It's like it was in slow-motion," Dean Broderick told the Sentinel. "You hear the train, then it's dead silence, and then wham! I've never seen anything like it. It was breathtaking."

Fortunately, there were no injuries in the crash, the Sentinel reports -- apparently, the truck's driver had already exited the vehicle and crossed the street before the CSX train hit. The train conductor also said he saw the truck but was unable to stop in time.

Though let's not forget the true victim of the day: watermelon season.

"These are good watermelons ... they were good watermelons."
