Just from looking at a Unstoppable trailer.

Couldn't they just stop the train the kids are on and get them to safety rather than having both trains continue to rail at each other? If they're keeping them on to not cause panic then they're doing it wrong.

The movie's inspiration.

That was actually a pretty cool story.

Were you pointing at the spambot?

Yes. I was interested enough to read to the end atleast.
