If you wonder what it feels like to be on a train when it hits a car on the tracks, my friend told me – it felt like the train slowed a bit. Rather undramatic unless you’re in the train’s engine. She said that apparently the guy jumped out before the train hit the car (which was a good thing, because it was cut in two and mangled beyond easy recognition as a motor vehicle) and ran off before the police got there. (Wasn’t that what Homer was supposed to do to Moe’s car?)
