Thanks, Dusty! Thanks for checking out the site! It was excellent, and the only PG stuff in it was bad language. But a sudden jolt sends the veteran crashing through a windshield, ending that effort, and an aborted attempt to derail the runaway at this point succeeds only at sending the slow-down engines careening off the track and wrecking in a huge, unrealistic fireball.
Although CSX may have considered sending engines out ahead of the real runaway as a last resort, this part of the movie is pure fiction. The real-life chase crew caught up to the runaway several miles before it reached Kenton, coupled onto its rear car, and braked it enough to get through sharp curves in town without derailing. Then a CSX trainmaster, Jon Hosfeld, was able to run alongside at a road crossing just south of Kenton, pull himself aboard Engine , and stop it.
Phenol, a chemical used in a wide variety of industrial processes, can cause skin, eye, or internal organ damage if touched or ingested, and is a toxic inhalation hazard if involved in a fire.
While it does not readily ignite on its own, molten phenol easily ignites combustible materials, and burning phenol vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. It also implies that a phenol incident would wipe out a large area, which is uncertain at best, although in a fire phenol could kill or severely injure bystanders.
Investigators recommended no sanctions against CSX for the incident after concluding it resulted from a combination of improbable events that could not have been foreseen. It kept their full attention. We discussed the movie today at breakfast. They certainly thought it was exciting.
There are lots of themes in the movie that we could talk about — 1 The importance of following the rules and redundant systems, 2 The idea of competence and personal accountability and the value of knowing and understanding your work, 3 The ways in which the film is structured to bring subplots racing together to increase excitment mirroring how how the trains are racing together. Cliched though this is, if this is the only lesson these boys get out of the movie, I am very happy.
A great comment, mom with 2 boys! I love to hear about these family discussions — sounds like they got just the right lesson, as well as the heroism, dedication, and skill of the three main characters. To Ex-trainmaster: I doubt anyone would want to sit through Unstoppable with the train going 10 mph,etc. I don't care even about the schoolchildren or the chemicals or the sheds.
If you ask me, I don't think that Unstoppable has introduced enough jeopardy yet. OH NO! Now there's a horse on the line as well!
A beautiful horse! This is a tragedy! What'll happen to the beautiful horse? Will the owner remove it from danger? Will it be scared by all the noise and lights of the oncoming train and simply canter to safety? Probably not! What can possibly be done to stop the needless destruction of this beautiful horse?
This means it's up to brave Denzel Washington to get to the train, risk his life by running along the top of it, and manually avert the catastrophe by himself. Can he do it? Rosario Dawson as Connie.
