Unstoppable -- new train movie

[steinjr]

Catching a train which is a missle the size of the Chrysler Building and gunning it in the opposite direction...

Believe it or not, in the real runaway scenario that this movie is based on, this is how they slowed the train. Well actually, they didn't "gun it in the opposite direction".

Here is a link to the final report on the CSX8888 incident: http://kohlin.com/CSX8888/z-final-report.htm.

And here is a page with lots of observations and comments by various people - some of which were following the incident as it happened: http://kohlin.com/CSX8888/x-play-by-play.htm

Good thing nobody got hurt during the runaway.
