UNSTOPABLE
Wooow, sorry by that!! …It was Dutch's idea
not one single person pulled out their mobile phone and filmed this in action? I CALL BS…. that wreckage looks like its been there for years
It utterly beggars belief that the brains outfit that considered creating and allowing a driverless train to exist couldn't come up with a way of remotely applying the brakes. IF you can remotely derail a train, why the hell can't you stop one? Are they rocket scientists or what?
Where is James Bond when you need one, we need you to get on to helicopter and then on to run away train, to save the world from the cho cho boogie monster.

They should have at least filmed it crashing if they did it on purpose.
How the devil does a train start and take of by itself? ?

Was it remotely started as well ?
The incompetence here is beyond belief.
