TRAIN WRECK or BUS PLUNGE?

You are comfy in your seat. The scenery drifts by, and you gaze at it half aware of your milieu & half up inside your own head. The carry-on bag sits beside you: heavy, dark, full of all those little odds and ends that you don’t want to stow away. Your velocity is currently packaged in with the velocity of your mode of transportation. You feel comfortable. You feel secure. Your mind drifts—perhaps towards the destination, perhaps back to your departure. SLAM! Screeching steel and screaming people. The contents of your bag become deadly projectiles. Your velocity carries on the same relative to the earth, but your immediate surroundings have stopped cold. No motion for the carriage, but plenty for the contents. It’s over. It’s the end. Bah-be, bah-be, bah-be—that’s all folks.

Train wreck or bus plunge?

"Superman you fuckwit! You could be saving us!!!"

definitely bus, if I gotta be smashed, I want a) to feel the fall and b) be smashed beyond all hope.

Nope, definitly train wreck. Racing down the tracks, sparks flying, engine screeching its death song and me at the controls, smilling because this is the last time Hogwarts will ever let a muggle on one of its trains! Muwahahahaahahahaha!

Bus because it has the word PLUNGE in it. Also because with a train wreck there would be a lot more people killed. I'm not being nice here, it's just that with all those extra deaths my name is a lot less likely to be mentioned in the papers.

Train plunge!

""Speed" is about human evolution, right?
It's so OBVIOUS. The bus represents the WORLD. Watch it again--they've got every nationality on there.

"Not only that but it's being driven to disaster by this guy who's either made up to look Cro-Magnon or chosen because he looks that way.

"He's our brutal evolutionary heritage, driving the world to ARMAGEDDON while everybody argues.

"The whole thing's symbolic."

"Check out "Speed." Next time you watch it, just keep in mind that the bus is the WORLD and that the big gap in the highway construction is the APOCALYPSE."

Well I, for one, would rather die in the bus plunge trying to evolve than even survive sitting doing nothing in the train.

I choose option 'e', a micro-nuclear explosion inside the hypothalamus of the woman in the third passanger seat on the left side, causing the driver to go into epiliptic shock, just as a gas main emploded directly underneath them. All because of llamas.

I saw this in a movie once it had arnold in it he said that he’d be back and then he was.

I'd take a train wreck I think. Faster. I would not enjoy the fall involved in plunging...

Both are totally survivable if you know how to handle yourself.
