ripped from OUR headlines

okay so that's the third MN area story that's showing up on Law & Order. first there was the chick selling fake flu vaccines at my alma mater. then the hunter who shot those people. now next week there's a commuter train hitting a car. sure on L&O they're going to amplify the story with it killing 12 people, and it looks like the train on Law & Order has people falling down from the jolt and probably injured. Hey lokey weren't you on that train? Didn't you say it didn't even feel like anything? jeez, Minnesota is a hotbed of headlines. I love law and order, but I'm starting to feel a little exploited!

Well, I think that the braking system for a large train wouldn't be nearly as smooth as the LRT. I does tend to get jerked around a little on the commuter trains in Chicago, or even the EL when they come to a stop. The braking system on the LRT is surprisingly smooth (incredibly so in my opinion), and even it had us getting jerked around a bit when the driver was slamming on the brakes coming up to the car.
